Default Former Head of 'Star Wars' Program says 9/11 an Inside Job

Given Norad's response on 9/11 it appears that a Soviet
bomber could have departed Cuba heading NE up the
coast in international airspace and made a quick left
turn towards any US coastal city unchallenged.
A $300+ billion DOD budget didn''t buy much "D".

The presumption was that an attack would originate from
outside our borders. The first pilots in the air near DC
flew towards the Atlantic Ocean because it hadn't been
explained to them that the threat was coming from inside the
country.
