Speaking of Carter Administration... perhaps General Ham recalls Major General John K. Singlaub career killer after publicly disagreeing with a President's position.

I suspect that will always be the case with engagements of war/conflict.
Honestly, I am not sure what I think will be gained by the ongoing pursuit of filling in the missing puzzle pieces. Nothing will bring back those lost or fill the empty chairs that loved ones and family members live with daily. For me personally, it's more about holding those in positions of power accountable for the actions/inaction they take. I've gone over the timeline involving the 'known' activities from time-to-time and am bewildered by inaction or lack of readiness based on events leading up to the 11th. If Americans were in a hotspot why would we not anticipate attacks and be ready to respond? I suspect that the truth is far simpler than what imaginations may envision... usually is the case. However, this administration bears some responsibility for feeding the beast with their ever illusive dance...
As a concerned civilian my views may be deemed out of place, if that is the case, please accept my apology.
