…airspace requiring a military response. Those protocols broke down somewhat on 9/11. A lack of communication between the FAA and the military slowed down the military response to the hijackings. The 9/11 Commission Report is well worth a read.
on “Nike Missile Sites of the San Francisco Bay Area” ↗Read the 9/11 Commission Report.
"Cryptonomicon" - Neal Stephenson "Expecting Better" - Emily Oster "The 9/11 Commission Report" - National Commission on Terrorist Attacks "Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS" - Joby Warrick "Power Wars: Inside Obama's Post-9/11 Presidency" - Charlie Savage (not finished yet)
on “Ask HN: Books you read in 2015?” ↗…business models consist of auctioning or selling the manuscript to the highest bidder. Even now, Americans publishers can make quite a bit money selling public domain books, often government book like the 9/11 commission report. Even so, I don't really care either way if a copyright-free world cause less books to appear, or more books to appears. If I want more books, I either download them or buy them. I see no reason to…
on “YouTube's original sin” ↗From Wikipedia: "Edmonds testified before the 9/11 Commission, but her testimony was excluded from the official 567 page 9/11 Commission Report." Publicly questioning the official 9/11 story is a great way to be ridiculed. The media and other propaganda outlets have so effectively labelled anything contrary to the party line as "conspiracy…
on “Inside the Saudi 9/11 Coverup” ↗…assistant, sent down to run Alec in '99. I'm not sure what "all this information" refers to - no one knows exactly how much the institutions in question knew beforehand - but it's there in Chapter 6 of the 9/11 Commission Report (albeit buried in a footnote) that 40-50 people at Langley knew enough to stop the resulting plot had they wanted to, that senior CIA employees prevented the FBI from knowing about 2 Al Qaeda terrorists…
on “September 11, 2001 media synced in real-time” ↗…pass judgement on others all the time without any trials. Note the discussion currently going on about us intervening in Syria. Also a trial really isn't the be all end all for rendering judgement. The 9/11 Commission Report wasn't factual enough?
on “Lord Blair: we need laws to stop 'principled' leaking of state secrets” ↗> "...it is widely believed by experts and, more importantly, stakeholders..." What sources would you recommend reading to learn more about that? The 9/11 Commission Report? I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't done much reading on inter-agency relations pre-9/11. (I hope this comment doesn't read as snark, I'm genuinely interested in learning more.)
on “NSA Coworker Remembers Edward Snowden: "A Genius Among Geniuses"” ↗…scratchpad, when perusing them. They had to mentally memorize any of the contents therein ! Here's the recent 60 Minutes piece on the White House's potential declassification of the "28 pages" [1] of the 9/11 Commission Report [2]. http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/28-pages [ Warning : Auto play video ] It also comes at a time when the White House and intelligence officials are reviewing whether to declassify one of the…
on “Document 17 Declassified – 9/11 attackers may have had links to Saudi Arabia [pdf]” ↗I was quoting the FBI. You can tell them how crazy you think they are. Meanwhile, the 9/11 Commission Report itself indicated attackers were funded by and tight with Saudi elites. You might, based on official report, wonder why our Presidents and counterterror efforts are tight with the one country they said…
on “Document 17 Declassified – 9/11 attackers may have had links to Saudi Arabia [pdf]” ↗A "9/11 Truther" is somebody who disputes the 9/11 Commission's Report. themagician is doing the opposite; men with box cutters crashing planes into buildings is precisely what the 9/11 Commission Report says. Will realizing this change how you feel about the merit of his comment, or will you still feel the same way even though your original reason for feeling this way was completely backwards?
on “US Congress doubles down on explosive claims of illegal UFO retrieval programs” ↗…say, 9/11... Do I believe that the US government planned and executed the destruction of the WTC towers as a "false flag" operation to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? No. Do I believe the 9/11 Commission Report is 100% accurate? Doubtful. But my own hunch is that any "conspiracy" to cover up anything in the 9/11 Commission Report is simply people doing "CYA" for themselves or their buddies, to disguise / hide…
If there was a terror group operating in the US doing all you claim, access to their phones would provide us with no protection whatsoever. We have absolute, concrete proof of this thanks to the 9/11 Commission Report. The NSA knew where Mohammed Atta was. They knew exactly what he was planning. And they kept it secret. They are so afraid of revealing their methods and capabilities that there is literally NO tragedy…
