The hearings and the commission's work have not received extensive media notice, which is odd, since the panel is seeking to explain the most traumatic moment in recent US history. The New York Times did not cover the commission's last set of hearings, nor did most cable and network news shows.

This is in stark contrast to the fact that there are constant newstories about the commission looking into the shuttle disaster. But nothing, ever, on the 9/11 commission. Why? What are they hiding or fearful that will be brought out?
