Welcome
Here is a 9-11 REPORT CARD
“What’s New, Recent,“ direct link for repeat visitors
First time and occasional visitors will benefit from a road map, given that the content of this site has reached substantial proportion. Follow the map and then branch out either using the search function or clicking on a given category or page.
A good place to begin is to read “About Me” and “Joining the Commission Staff.”
If your time is limited I recommend two short cuts of interest. First, go to “What’s New, Recent,” and, if interested, the What’s New archives for 2009 and 2010 for thumbnail synopses and links to articles as I posted them, chronologically. Second, “Correspondent’s Corner” contains my responses to questions and issues raised to me.
The “Scott Trilogy” is essential reading to gain an understanding of the state of public knowledge about the events of 9-11 prior to the Commission’s work and subsequent report.
A good first article, thereafter, is “The Ghosts of 9-11, the transponder story” to gain an understanding of the attack against the national airspace system.
I have written three in-depth articles concerning the attack. Two of them are next on the suggested road map. The first article describes the attack and response as a battle in a larger war on terror. The second article describes the attack in terms of the “testimony” of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed at the Zacarias Moussaoui trial.
Thereafter, I suggest a perusal of the “Chaos Theory” category to gain an understanding of why and how I use the lens of Chaos Theory to help understand the events on the morning of 9-11. Specifically, look at my preliminary articles: “Chaos Theory: 9-11, thinking out loud, and “Chaos Theory and 9-11, some preliminary thoughts.”
Then, read the third in-depth article on the attack and the response, “9-11: Chaos and Ghosts; little understood at the time, poorly understood even today.”
Finally, take a look at the “Framework for Analysis.” I provide a neutral framework that anyone can use to present and analyze a body of information concerning 9-11, pre-event, event, and post-event. I establish that the event was a terrorist attack. Anyone with a different thesis is welcome to use the framework.
