Military officials did not knowingly mislead the 9/11 Commission, according to the DOD Inspector General, reports the New York Times. “We haven’t found any information to indicate the testimony was knowingly false,” William Goehring, Pentagon IG spokesman, told the Times. However, he said the IG is still working on a separate report on the matter. An earlier report obtained by the Times under the Freedom of Information Act, attributed the inaccurate statements given to Congress and the 9/11 commission to poor record keeping, much of which was handwritten logs. As we reported Monday, the 9/11 panel’s own report cleared up much of the misinformation two years ago.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
