So let me get this straight:
The Department of Defense had solid intelligence on the 9/11 hijackers, including names and photographs, well in advance of the hijacking. The DoD tried to communicate this intel to the FBI, but were prohibited from doing so by a Justice Dept. regulation. The FBI was never notified, and (obviously) no action was ever taken.
The 9/11 Commission was briefed on this, but did not include it in their report.
One of the 9/11 Commissioners was the author of the Justice Dept. regulation that prevented the intel from being communicated and acted on. Again, none of this was covered in the Comission's report.
Do I have it about right?
