(CBS) For the first time, the chairman of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is saying publicly that 9/11 could have and should have been prevented, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston.

"This is a very, very important part of history and we've got to tell it right," said Thomas Kean.

"As you read the report, you're going to have a pretty clear idea what wasn't done and what should have been done," he said. "This was not something that had to happen."

1. The real SOTU.

Wish I could believe it won't be a whitewash though.

2. Doesn't sound like it.

This is mainstream media, and he is coming out full bore saying there were failures all over the place.

Couple that with Bush's battle to keep this quiet, and it could really hurt him.

It SHOULD hurt him.
