Mr. Balsamo, as long as you're here, I'm curious as to why you're organization has not publicized info re:

1) NORAD's mission- for decades prior to 9/11- of sovereignty over North American air space

2) Failure of the chain of command in the FAA to notify the NMCC of each confirmed air emergency, then each confirmed hijacking- it seems some ATCs and CPCs and supervisors were doing their job- and Herndon, WOC and the military liaisons dropped the ball.

3) Failure of the NMCC to be involved in setting ANY of the scramble orders in motion during the crisis involving the 4 hijacked flights, by passing orders on to NORAD

4) Failure of NORAD/NEADS to get the Otis scrambled jets- and the Otis jets that took off on a routine training mission around the same time- over Manhattan before UA 175 arrived.

5) The 'phantom' AA 11

6) Failure of DCANG to protect the nation's capital- nearly an HOUR after the first tower was hit- and an HOUR AND A HALF after the first sign of hijacking- which came AFTER a 'summer of threat', which included a PDB that warned of 'preparations consistent with hijacking' and 'surveillance of federal buildings in New York' and noted 70 bin Laden-related FBI field investigations

7) the fact that fighters from Langley were sent out over the Atlantic and after a 'phantom' AA 11, and were unavailable to to respond to AA 77, or defend the nation's capital

Given the relevant experience of your members, I find it very curious these important issues have not been addressed in any substantive way in all the years of P4T's existence- your org seems to be almost entirely focused on WHAT did or did not HIT the Pentagon.

I took a look to see if perhaps your "current work involves" these things:

Hi Rancho,

Your concerns seem highly specialised in ATC and closely related topics.

Have you emailed Pilots For 9/11 Truth with your concerns?

But to perhaps answer some of your questions...

Darn, I never got to ask him about the DCA runway 15 flight approach.

I'm really kind of amazed by Balsamo's behavior here. He seemed nearly irrational. He wasn't successful at making anyone here look bad or even frustrating any of us. He didn't really make any coherent point. More than anything it was just a momentary distraction.

Now, would anyone like to argue that this behavior is irrelevant? Anyone want to suggest that I should ignore what just happened because the facts, if any, that Balsamo promotes, are what is most important? Anyone want to argue that credibility and maturity and rationality should be off the table?

Because in my eyes, this behavior seriously calls into question the intentions of Balsamo and the judgment of those who would choose to closely associate with him.
