The Pearl Harbor commission has been cited in connection with 9/11 investigations more often than the Warren Commission on the Kennedy assassination not only because of the seemingly comparable war situations but also because of the Warren Commission's bad baggage. Few proponents of a special commission would consider the controversial Warren Report any sort of a model.
