>>>Some family members of September 11 victims, through the Family Steering Committee, have also asked why Saudi royals and others were permitted to fly in commercial air space, when victims’ relatives were not given that permission.<<< There's a good one! I think the 9/11 Commission should be a continuous hearing, going around the clock, and fully televised except in matters where present and future national security issues become compromised. How can anything meaningful be extracted when each commissioner only has 10 minutes to ask questions of the people who'd best know the answers and have the most information? Each commissioner should have a minimum of an hour, or a full day even, for key questioning.

This gets heavier and heavier as I continue reading: >>>Two of the flights departed from Las Vegas, where at least five of the September 11 suspects visited several times between May 2001 and August 2001. At least one suspect from each of the four planes hijacked stayed in Las Vegas. Suspected ringleader Mohamed Atta checked in at a Vegas hotel on June 29, checked out on July 1, and returned on August 13. Marwan Al-Shehhi, Hani Hanjour, Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Ziad Jarrah all traveled there at least once. All together, the hijackers made at least six trips to Vegas. Yet, a few days after 9-11, 31 passengers were allowed to fly out of Vegas, including one passenger named Al-Hazmi. One Saudi royal aboard was Prince Turki bin Faisal, famous as the head of Saudi Arabia's bloodstained and much feared intelligence service from 1977 until he was abruptly fired in August 2001.<<< Anyone think Foxnews' Bush Administration apologist and lapdog, Sean Hannity, might like to wonder about some of this?
