Just Call Him Old Stonewall - Bush

[dArKeR]

Before there was WMD-Gate, before we became experts on nonexistent uranium from Niger and the kinds of aluminum tubes needed to make nukes, our intelligence wizards faced a much simpler and scarier question: Could 9/11 have been prevented?

The White House never wanted an independent commission established to answer that question. Calls for a heavyweight inquest came from both parties. The administration fought the bad fight and eventually lost. Thankfully.

You might remember a bit of news from the National Commission in Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (better known as the 9/11 Commission) when it was getting set up. Henry Kissinger and George Mitchell were supposed to be the chairmen, but both resigned with conflict of interest issues. Tom Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, and Lee Hamilton, long the Democratic dean of foreign affairs in the House, took the jobs.

And you haven’t heard much about the 9/11 Commission since. The deadline for its final report: May 2004, nearly three years after 9/11/01.

2. But this is big news, folks--9-11 is proving to be too big for

the Bushistas to stage manage. Even the media whores are tired of standing around waiting for something . . . anything . . . from an official investigative report.

Bush is so cavalier he may not realize that the American people are not going to buy silence on this running up for '04 elections.

He needs something--a Bush Warren Commission Report if you will that puts this to rest (even if seriously flawed)--but he's such a coward that the truth will come out, he'd rather just stonewall and foot drag.

Truth, though it have no tongue, will speak with miraculous organ.
