Why? WHY is this not getting any play today? This is huge. Is any other mainstream news source covering this besides CBS? What the hell? I saw this last night. I woke up eager to see this story in my morning paper (nothing) and on cable news (I was deluged with “Jacko”). I know, the media are Bush-suckling whores, but this is just incredible. Someone, please explain.

9/11 Chair: Attack Was Preventable
NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2003
For the first time, the chairman of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is saying publicly that 9/11 could have and should have been prevented, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston.
"This is a very, very important part of history and we've got to tell it right," said Thomas Kean.
"As you read the report, you're going to have a pretty clear idea what wasn't done and what should have been done," he said. "This was not something that had to happen."
Appointed by the Bush administration, Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, is now pointing fingers inside the administration and laying blame.
"There are people that, if I was doing the job, would certainly not be in the position they were in at that time because they failed. They simply failed," Kean said.
