Sept. 11, Minute by Minute

摘要

The National Commission on Ter-rorist Attacks Upon the United States, popularly known as "The 9/11 Commission," was created to conduct an independent, non-partisan investigation into the dead-liest-ever foreign attack on US soil. Panel members had wide access to key participants, documents, and classified information. Their final report was released in July. Confusion surrounding the events of Sept. 11, 2001, resulted in major misperceptions and inaccuracies in the public record. What follows is the commission's accounting of how Osama bin Laden's killers did their work and how US air defenses responded.
