I was watching the news coverage of the day. There was no fighter cover over DC. That is not arguable.

Our defense posture at that time was for an external threat. We never suspected this type of attack would be launched internally.
A friend of mine flew sky cap over DC for some months after 9-11. We were then prepared for internal threats. His job was to shoot down any threat regardless of where it came from.
