The Pentagon has been formulating their strategy to control the press since Vietnam which the Pentagon blames for the imagined defeat there. It's to the Pentagon benefit to keep perpetuating the Vietnam defeat slogan so squeeze more money out of the American taxpayers for the pentagon's budget which includes the cold war mentality morphed with the terrorism mantra of endless fear mongering for the purpose of endless war, the Pentagon dreams come true. The pentagon had no incentive to prevent the 9/11 attacks, so they didn't. As of this writing the PENTAGON HAS YET TO COME UP WITH AN ANTI BOX CUTTERS DEFENSE SYSTEM but is intent of preventing the terrorists from taking the high ground of space, with the Space Command which can easily be rendered useless with tin foil.
