Shelton Authorized Able Danger

Gen. Hugh Shelton, the top U.S. military commander during the 9/11 attacks, admits that he authorized Operation Able Danger to attempt to track down Bin Laden, Atta and other members of Al Qaeda several years before 9/11.

I guess the 9/11 Commission was either: 1) so inept that the members couldn't figure this out for themselves; or 2) it was such a partisan facade that the members only addressed the issues that could reach consensus (read: nothing controversial that could potentially pin blame on the Clinton-Reno-Gorelick team).
