New Audio of 9/11 Hijackings Almost 10 years to the day since September 11, we can now hear the voices of hijackers, air controllers and military officials as two airliners were deliberately flown into the World Trade Center buildings in lower Manhattan. They are brief, but appalling reminders of what happened that day. Retired Army colonel Miles Kara was an investigator for the 9/11 Commission who studied the events of that morning. (KCRW has asked listeners and Internet users to reflect on how September 11 changed their lives. On Sunday, their answers will appear throughout the day on KCRW-FM and KCRW.com.)

Replacing Obamacare: Now you see it… now you don’t As the Senate deliberates replacing Obmacare, health coverage for millions of people is at stake. There've been no public hearings, and a draft measure won't be made public. Is the House version so unpopular that that Senate is hiding a version that looks much the same?
