"Strick, I think maybe the problem we are having here is that we are commenting and surmising about an ongoing investigation, which is in the gathering evidence phase. I don't think anyone on the 9/11 commission said this PDB was a smoking gun, that is pure media hype."

I agree with the first part whole heartedly. As to the second part, I've seen members of the Commission, including Kerrey (sorry, I've been mispelling his name) say as much on different talk shows.   I don't think the media is the source of the perception that there was more in this briefing than there turned out to be.
