I still have to wonder why Able Danger was just ignored--wouldn't it be in the "comprehensive" 9-11 Commission report because of what it IS (in relation to our country's investigative mechanisms working on terrorism), even if it's to say that nothing was found?
That's a good point, I think. You'd think that an assemblage of facts, however tangental to the 9/11 emission's thesis, would at least be warranted -- if only in the form of an appendixed outline in the back of the book.
Yes you're right, it should rank as a footnote at least. The process that decides arbitrarily what is and what is not deemed credible is also publishable. It is a record not a perspective that the commission produces.
