Context for the newly-released "Joint Chiefs Rejected 'Airplanes as Missiles' Game Scenario in April 2001" stories:

There are many mainstream media articles published over the last two years which, when taken together, give the context for understanding what the just-breaking "Joint Chiefs Rejected 'Airplanes as Missiles' scenario in April 2001" story means. With regard to the first article below, about NORAD's "Vigilant Guardian" emergency response exercise held on the morning of 9/11 in the northeast sector of the U.S. including New York, D.C. and Pennsylvania, we know that this "Vigilant Guardian" 'wargame' had to either be on, or involve, a multiple-hijack scenario because the person in charge of 'running' the game at NEADS (NORAD N.E. Sector) in Rome, New York as well as the very person who, finally, too late authorized the scrambling of real jets on 9/11, NORAD's No. 2 General Arnold, at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, were both (along with many other 'game players that morning) confused at the beginning as to whether incomings from Boston air traffic control, etc. were 'for real,' or were part of the wargame; and they would not, and could not, have been confused unless what actually began unfolding -- the attacks -- were the same as, or very similar to, the scenario/content of the pre-planned exercise(s).

Even Richard Clarke, in his book AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, gives part of the transcript of his phone conversation with Gen. Arnold that morning, in which Gen. Arnold refers to being, right then, as Clarke is calling, involved in (words to the effect, see page 5) 'just that' (i.e. game scenario).

Also, there is lots of evidence that the hijackers were leaked details of the U.S. government's hijack-and-plane-into-building emergency response exercise(s) scheduled for the morning of 9/11 (see below mainstream press articles) because we know for an absolute fact that they perpetrated the real thing 'on top of' NORAD's (and possibly also NRO's) wargame(s) that very morning.

Further extremely strong evidence that the hijackers used the date OF the Government's own wargame as the date for their own attacks, is the text of the famous Sept. 10 NSA intercept between Atta and KSM:

"The MATCH is about to begin. Zero hour is tomorrow" (i.e. Sept. 11).

'Match' can be a clear referent for a 'game'. Also, in the famous Der Spiegel article based on the transcripts of the interrogations of KSM and Bilalshibh obtained by the magazine, reprinted in full in the New York Times, it is revealed that, at the mid-July 'Final 9/11 Planning Meeting' in Tarragona, Spain, Atta takes the information to the so-called attack 'coordinator' (and some now say KSM was also there), that 'The date for the attack has been set', but that that date 'is not yet known.'

Take careful note of the passive tense here -- 'has been' set. Atta then, much later, communicates the actual date for the attack, in the famous 'two sticks and a cake with a handle' call with KSM -- i.e., the date of this key Atta-KSM call is clearly
just after Atta has been informed, probably by Pakistani ISI Chief Gen. Ahmad, that the U.S. Government has just confirmed that "Vigilant Guardian" will indeed go forward and that Sept. 11 has been set as the day (Day 2 of the exercise) that a multiple-hijack-and-plane-into-building scenario will be 'run'.

And what does this line of evidence mean? : No 'real' hijacker or mastermind would not choose his own date for an attack. That is, this is 'the' line of evidence that nails the claim that, at the top. 9/11 had to be an Inside Job, or, at the very least, there had to be at least one Insider traitor who leaked the date, as well as all the major details, of the Pentagon/NORAD's own game plan for the morning of Sept. 11 to Atta, to KSM, and to Binalshibh.

Below are the mainstream articles from 2002 that provide the context for, and explode the meaning of, the above just-breaking "Joint Chiefs Rejected 'Airplanes as Missiles' Scenario in April 2001" articles published in the Wash. Post, Boston Globe, etc.:

Iincluded is an article about NORAD's Northeast Sector (NEADS) emergency response exercise on the morning of Sept. 11, called "Vigilant Guardian" (elsewhere, for example Clarke's book p. 5, the same wargame is referred to as "Vigilant Warrior")
