I can understand the Dems motives in all this but there were also Republicans on that committee .....what the hell happened to them?

Well, in the first place, you're not going to have something that had anything to do with 9/11 unless there was some intelligence to share. And it's becoming more and more evident that there wasn't any intelligence to share. Shaffer originally said that he told our staff in Afghanistan about Mohammed Atta. He didn't. There were four people there. None of them heard it.
new tone. this WH refuses to defend itself. they allow the misunderstandings bad info and outright lies to flourish. well bully for them with their new tone! it makes life difficult for the rest of us who try to defend US actions. i hold them responsible for much of the division we now face. it is their fault that otherwise reasonable people on both sides fight over details. the new tone brought us together alright . i may be a supporter but i am not blind. also in this remarkable time of political revelation it would be a good time for the WH to catch up.
re: They were busy being the nice guys and good citizens that the left has come to depend upon for their ill deeds to succeed!
The charitable thought would be: "Picking their noses, scratching their asses, with their minds in Georgia (or New Jersey or wherever)".
