The panel investigating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks found that there was "no credible evidence that Iraq and al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States," according to a staff report issued on Wednesday. One member of the commission investigating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks says "a number of urban myths about 9/11" will be dispelled on Thursday, the last scheduled hearing for the panel. One such myth is the widely held belief that the military was ready to carry out orders to shoot down civilian aircraft if necessary. "That is simply not true," said the commissioner. "They were not ready" for a number of reasons, suggesting, among other things, that there were legal issues and that properly armed aircraft were not ready. What is not contested is that Vice President Dick Cheney communicated authorization for civilian planes to be shot down if they threatened strategic targets. Appearing on CNN's "Wolf Blitzer Reports," commission member Richard Ben-Veniste would not elaborate on the report. "I'm not going to preview the information in any detail, except to say that a lot of the information that has been released previously -- indeed some sworn to -- will have to be corrected," Ben-Veniste said. While Wednesday's hearing focused primarily on the terrorists' planning, Thursday's hearing will focus on what happened in the skies the day of the attack. The commission found that the plot originally called for hijacking 10 planes and attacking targets on the eastern and western coasts of the United States. Full article over at CNN Source: CNN
