A question for the 9/11 commission

Paul Greenberg in the Washington Times on the 9/11 commission:
“Some days my only question about the September 11 Commission, and about the coverage of its doings, is the same one posed by a duty officer at NORAD’s Northeast Air Defense Sector at 8:38 a.m., September 11, 2001. After being told of an apparent hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11, the flight that would shortly crash into the north tower of the World Trade Center, he asked: ‘Is this real world or exercise?'”
