I agree.
If she says the "TRW 800" words, folks will be nuts.
I think it's coming...

Nahhh. That would wreck the airline industry overnight. She's going to give truthful testimony, and thereby cut Clarke's legs out from underneath him.

Otherwise, the Commission is window-dressing for the masses. What is really happening is behind the curtain, and the people will vote to retain the adults for another 4 years.

Another airliner went down during the Clinton era that was provably due to a terrorist act. That was the downing of the Egypt Air flight in a suicide attack by the Egyptian co-pilot. In an act if pure cowardice, the Clinton administration caved to Egypt's insistence that there was no proof the co-pilot brought the plane down deliberately. In doing so, he hung those victims' families out to dry in terms of seeking justice. He also hung we, the American people, out to dry in terms of caving to the jihadists.

The most important witness in all of this is Osama bin Laden, himself. We have his words on one of his own videotapes saying the reason he expected to get away with the audacious plan that turned into the 9/11 attacks was due to the weak American response to his previous attacks against American interests here and abroad. That's the beginning and the end of the truth about what mistakes led up to 9/11. Don't need no stinking, preening, self-important, expensive "bipartisan" commission (with 70+ staff members) to tell us what Osama bin Laden already has told us.
