The 9/11 Report

I've been reading the 9/11 report for about a month now.. It's been fairly interesting. They unearthed a ton of details and overall my main observation (I'm about 3/4 through it) is that no matter who is in power D or R, there still is an unimaginable amount of bureaucratic crap to wade through to get anything done at all. At every level and at every branch of govenrnment there is a mentality of "here's the best thing we can do and not really be held accountable for"... Of all that I've read so far, that's been my main observation.

So, it comes as no surprise that Will from Attytood alerted me to the following story in the Washington Post that talks about how the commissioners of the 9/11 panel were and still are skeptical of the story that NORAD, and the Pentagon gave them during their investigation...
"We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."
