That is all it takes to allow this to happen. But that isn't enough for you? Jesus, the President and Vice President refused to appear separately, or under oath, to any of the commissions that investigated the actions of 9/11 simply because they did not want the admission of their actions registered in the record of that willful failure. BTW, If you or I tried to use that defense, we would end up in prison, they have a get out of jail free card called executive priviledge. Seriously, I've seen conspiracy charges filed on a lot less.

There are plenty of reasons to stand down from shooting upon hundreds of civilians on commercial airliners. Afterall planes have been hijacked before without driving into buildings. In order to make that call you'd need to know the exact details of their plans. Very difficult to know in the exact hour you need to make that call. They screwed up and it looks horrible on them. They ignored intelligence and they followed it up with screwing up the day of and they don't want to talk about it because they don't have to due to such executive priviledge.
