I tried to post a comment after signing up at his blog, but it kept telling me I was anonymous, so I quit. Will post my comments here.
Well written and in general I agree with the concept of an AAR. I suspect that such a tool would be quite useful, but probably foreign to most civilian agencies. Having said that, I disagree that no commission is necessary. This was the worst tragedy ever to hit our nation other than the Civil War, and it cannot be excluded from the political landscape. In any case I sense the findings of the AAR (which I completely concur in)will likely demonstrate command and control issues that can only be resolved at the political levels, if then.
Well written and well thought out.
Agree that a commission is necessary, but only after we've had professionals try to fix problems.
There definitely is a congressional role here, too, eventually. But all these folks shooting from the hip with proposed legislative solutions before we even understand the problems are going to create more problems than they fix.
