the 9/11 commission report

Nobody? That's incredible. I am going to go out and buy a copy. What did YOU think?

I have read lots of it at the website, and my husband printed a copy from there. I am appalled, dismayed and horrified by great chunks of what I've read. But that's nothing new where US news, intelligence and politics are concerned.

I'm on Chapter Three now. The opening section "We Have Some Planes" was riveting and chilling. And some new-to me details where quite shocking, like the total lack of communication between the FAA and the military (NORAD) and the conflicting orders to shoot down civilian planes. Some of the fighter pilots apparently didn't know that planes had been hijacked and used as missiles -- they saw smoking ruins in the Pentagon and thought the Russkies had lobbed some old-fashioned missiles.
But the real eye-opener was Donald Rumsfield on the AM of 9/11. It's sort of obliquely stated, but it seems as though he was AWOL and incommunicado for about an hour between 9:30 and 10:30 AM. Was he in a state of shock? Having a medical emergency? Detained in the men's room? I wish more was made of this mysterious abscence.
And Cheney clearly overstepped his bounds of authority that AM, ordering military planes to shoot down hijacked airliners w/o consulting Bush. Condi Rice blatantly lies to cover his ass about that, which even Scooter Libby and Lynne Cheney don't do.
The next two chaps were a little dull and bureaucratic, but I'm gonna stick with it.
The paperback was only $10 -- a bargain.

There's a book written by an european journalist in which he wrote "no planes was in the Pentagon attack": what do you read on your book about it?
Sorry, It's too difficult for me reading a book in English...I'm terribly ignorant...sorry!!!

Yeah, that's one of the more crazed conspiracy theories. There are, what, thousands of employees at the Pentagon and there's (at least one) highway that goes right past it -- there were a lot of witnesses.
