On May 22 and 23, 2003, the 9/11 Independent Commission held its second set of public hearings, focusing on the issue of air defense. It's not surprising if you haven't heard about this, because the hearings were poorly covered by the media, with major papers such as the New York Times and Los Angeles Times failing to write any articles on them.

That's unfortunate, because the hearings were important, and the issue of air defense is critically so. Could at least some of the 9/11 attacks have been stopped if the US air defense system had reacted faster? We need to know the answers and identify possible failures if we are to prevent future attacks from succeeding.

Wow, that article is chock full of detail.

This is the controversy that will live on and grow over time (once it becomes okay to discuss it)?

"Was NORAD Merely Grossly Incompetent?"

Um, no. Not entirely. In my opinion, they shot down the fourth plane and covered it up. If they didn't, then YES they are incompetent.
