9/11 Commission Worthless

I am thoroughly disgusted with the 9/11 Commission and their politicized report. This was the last thing we needed in wartime. I don't have a problem with an investigation per se, just one that is obviously intent on undermining our current president and the war effort. That's the primary difference between the 9/11 Commission and the investigation of the Pearl Harbor attacks.

The politicization of our national security by the 9/11 Commission is blatant and saddening. Obvserves Christopher Cox, a congressman and chairman of the Select Committee on Homeland Security and chairman of the House Policy Committee:

"House Speaker Dennis Hastert implored the Commission's leadership to provide their recommendations this spring, so that committees could have hearings and mark up legislation. The official position of the Commission was that they needed more time. But even when the report was finished last weekend, it was still withheld from Congress in order to orchestrate a carefully timed public relations blitz heralding its simultaneous release at bookstores across the country. It is difficult to imagine a national security rationale for providing the final text in electronic form to commercial publisher W.W. Norton & Co. but refusing to release it even to Congress, which commissioned the report."
