WP, pg 1: 9/11 panel "more Warren Commission than Church Commission"

[DeepModem Mom]

"Led by co-chairmen who have attempted to steer the panel away from partisan debate, and relying on a staff assembled without direct involvement by the two major political parties, the commission's published statements so far have struck a centrist, judicious tone. In many respects, the panel's work has been closer to the fact-finding, conspiracy-debunking Warren Commission of the mid-1960s, which investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, than to the reform-oriented Church Commission, which exposed assassination plots and CIA abuses during the mid-1970s."


From reading this lengthy article, it looks to me personally as if the Commission has sought, in the name of "bipartisanship," to blame Clinton as much as Bush, and, additionally, to absolve the Saudis. There is no bipartisanship with the Bush cabal; they're far outside the parameters of partisanship. The people need the TRUTH about these people, and about 9/11, and it doesn't look to me as if this panel has even tried to give us, and the 9/11 families, the truth. Am I wrong here?

1. You may have a point there eom

2. Pretty much expected from the beginning...

... since Kean is a Repug, and Lee Hamilton, out of a misguided sense of bipartisanship, let Bush I off the hook for involvement in the October Surprise and for involvement in the Iran-Contra mess because he was a sitting president, and Zelikow is a book-writin' bud of Condoleezza Rice. What's to expect with that line-up.

It might have been fun if they'd made Vincent Bugliosi staff counsel, but no one was honest enough to do that....

Nope, we're getting what Bush wanted--we all should have known that when he first picked Henry Kissinger to head the commission. :eyes:
