In listening to the 9/11 Commission's report on CSPAN, I was
amazed by the fact that a C-130H just getting airborne was diverted to
recon the Pentagon attack, and then also reconned the crash site in
Pennsylvania. That's a busy morning.

While understanding the crew may want to stay anonymous, does
anyone have any details on this mission they can share ? Were any
awards made, etc ?

I was also pretty impressed that Langley scrambled in six
minutes from what appeared to be no notice.

Any conspiracy rants will be ignored, but I'd welcome
intelligent discussion about the report.

Without trying to finger point, I find it a little embarrassing that our
military, with its capability of developing contingency plans for coping with
****ant countries like Granada, Kosovo, and probably Monaco, hadn't gotten
around to thinking outside the box enough to deal with flying Boeing 676 jet
fuel bombs. It now seems that there was a little advance notice about that kind
of attack developing. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, that "heads up"
warning from the spooks never got to the guys responsible for putting together
plans and procedures for dealing with such eventualities.
