"From Sept. 11 to June, NORAD scrambled jets or diverted combat air patrols 462 times, almost seven times as often as the 67 scrambles from September 2000 to June 2001, Martin said."

Scrambling jets does not mean that they intercepted their target. Using semantics to prove a point. Kind of underhanded, don't you think?

A section on the collapse of the World Trade Center fails to address firefighters and other individuals who reported numerous explosions before the towers fell, squibs of debris seen shooting out of the towers well below the collapse point, and the fact that the towers fell only slightly slower than absolute free fall.

When a building is brought down by explosives, you do not hear the explosion "before" the collapse. The explosives go off, the building comes down instantaeneously. I have been on the site of these things several times.
As the buildings come down, there are no more explosions. The explosives set the collapse in motion and there are no more blasts going off when a building is demolished. Every single explosive in a demolition goes of within fractions of a second. What the conspiracists point too is trapped air being expelled out the paths of least resistance by tons of debris pushing down on it.
The article loses credibility immedeately when it doubts the Popular Mechanics article solely on who the Publisher is.
