I don't think it would get much support here, sadly.

I find it hard to believe that the people wouldn't want the TRUTH known. I guess that no one in this forum lost a loved one on that day?

Just the ugly side of party politics rearing it's head. Many here would support battery cables being used on the opposition and defend the right of their side to tell the panel to stuff it. Interesting times in America.

This entire commission is a futile exercise to try to make sense of all of the senselessness of 9/11.

Was there an intelligence and policy failure that led to 9/11? YES!

Was there more that could have been done to prevent 9/11? OF COURSE!

9/11 was the culmination of at least a couple decades of increasing failure to adequately address the growing threat of terrorism. This commission is not going to find a smoking gun (because there isn't one!), but there are many people who will use its findings to try to embarrass the current administration.

The imperative now is to choose in the upcoming election between one man who advocates bold action to fight terrorists and another man who advocates returning to the failed policies of the past.

I remember the victims of 9/11 and their families every day. I hope the rest of country does too and isn't tempted to be lulled back to sleep.

What are you two yacking about?

What do you base your moans and groans about people here at FR not wanting truth?

From what I see, people are correctly pointing out that Clinton and Gore will not be enlightening whether they are under oath or not.

By all means, swear 'em up. We want the truth. We can discern what sources and forums are not likely to yield it.
