Wow......I am amazed that this panel would come to this conclusion... Leaders of 9/11 Panel Say Attacks Were Probably Preventable My first thought was "I am too". My second thought was that in a strict sense they where preventable. It was possible to prevent them. That doesn't mean that it would have been easy to prevent them or that we should hold any particular people at fault for not preventing them. My third thought after reading the article was that the title was misleading. " "There are a lot of ifs; you can string together a whole bunch of ifs, and if things had broken right in all kinds of different ways, as the governor has identified, and frankly if you'd had a little luck, it probably could have been prevented." " That is a fairly reasonable statement.
