Sept. 11 panel to subpoena NORAD
Air defense command promised records but didn’t deliver

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 — The national commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks voted Friday to subpoena the records of the North American Aerospace Defense Command for information it promised but did not deliver.

IT WOULD be the second subpoena issued by the commission, which has complained of delays by some government agencies in providing information needed to complete the investigation by a May deadline. The commission subpoenaed the Federal Aviation Administration in October, accusing it of slowing the probe by not providing timely and complete information.

The panel in May requested information on air traffic control tracking of hijacked aircraft and the agency’s communication with NORAD, the U.S.-Canadian military alliance that scrambled fighter jets during the attacks.

Remember when the golfer, Payne Stewart, was in that aircraft where the pressure went wrong and no one was working the controls for a long time? Seems to me fighters were scrambled almost immdediately. Why in the world didn't Shrub have fighters scrambled the minute the first tower was hit? But of course they haven't let go of the papers they have saying that intelligence had told them that planes were being planned to be flown into buildings. This whole stonewalling makes me think the administration is incompetant at best. I don't want to think the worst.

was supposed to have been intercepted in half an hour, but I have heard that because of a time zone change it was really ninety minutes, closer to the delay on 911.

In any case, I'm extremely glad they're issuing subpoenas.

of "stand down". Or will she repeat herself on "traditional highjackings".

...and if 'everything' is turned over...it could shed some light on the lack of response from the Bush* government on 9-11.

for the Aug 6 briefing document.

We need to see that.

What don't you want us to know about what you knew, Mr Bush?

the ones related to 9-11. This gut is in place to make certain there is no investigation.

"As President I will examine all related classified material 9-11 and decide once and for all if this tradgedy could have been averted and what the Bush Adm did during and after the attack...why is BushCo dragging their feet?... why are subpeonas ignored? who is responsible for the deaths of 3000 Americans?... As Prez, I will do what I can to find the facts and get to the bottonm of 9-11."
