MINETA UPDATE: I’ve given Mineta credit for deciding to land the planes on 9/11. But according to this USA Today story (scroll down to “9:45 a.m.”) Mineta merely ratified a decision already made by the FAA. He still deserves some credit for not screwing this up (I believe there was pressure from some quarters in the Administration not to ground the planes) but that’s not quite the same.
