Republicans Clash Over 9/11 Panel

Reuters ^ | 4-16-04

[plain talk]

"We are committed as well to the integrity of our work

A similar statement was made by the Iraq U.N. inspectors.

[Steven W.]

even more ...

The commission has clear written guidelines on conflicts of interest," he said.

Sensenbrenner has already pointed out that Gorelick has (obviously) already violated those guidelines.

Who is this Thomas Kean RINO???

[Indy Pendance]

Sensenbrenner is my congressman, he's fantastic!

"None of our votes have been cast on partisan lines," . . .

WTF. I didn't know the committee was "voting."

[Humal]

"DeLay echoed Sensenbrenner's complaints, saying if Gorelick "enhanced and helped formalize the very policies that may have created barriers to preventing the 9-11 attacks, a profound conflict of interest would appear to exist."

Today, Rush read another article about a classified document also by Gorelick found by Mark Levine. It can be found at http://www.nationalreview.com/levin/levin200404151634.asp

Hope it's O.K. to link to National Review On-Line.

Let's hope that some of this sticks and the commission is disbanded as phony.

Bravo for your Congressman!

I wish more GOP Reps & Senators would speak out......Gorelick needs to step down so she can be questioned under oath!

[Fester Chugabrew]

"committee" = "omission"

[mickie]

Who is this Thomas Kean RINO???

Former governor of New Jersey. And a definite RINO.
My question is how in the world did he get appointed head of the commission?

[Starve The Beast]

So, when the headline says:

Republicans Clash Over 9/11 Panel

... and then that statement is clarified in the first sentence by...

"Two leading congressional Republicans on Friday accused the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks of descending into partisan finger-pointing..."

It isn't really the Republicans clashing, now is it? More like the Republicans pointing out that the 9/11 commission is hopelessly partisan.

This headline is hopelessly partisan, but seeing as how it's from Reuters, it can't possibly be intentional...

[jmstein7]

I guess DeLay got our letters :)

[Humidston]

Hmmmm... I'm starting to wonder if Jamie owns knee pads.

[olinr]

"My question is how in the world did he get appointed head of the commission?"

A great question. With all of these "friends", we do not need any enemies! I get very sick over our country and the way these RINO's survive. Thank God for Mark Levine and others like him. We need to "force" the issue and begin to recall, or charge some of them as traitors. How many GI's have been killed because of them?

[potlatch]

Kean is 'keen' to keep his job!!

Put Gorelick into the keywords and see this:

That is posted here, several times.

But Thomas Kean, the Republican chairman of the panel, defended its work and denied politics played any role.

rotflmao. Stop it Tom you're killing me!
Let's see, it's an election year, and we have a bunch of politicians getting LOTS of media coverage and Kean says there's no politics! Riiiight.


I may have been born at night..but it wasn't last night.

But Thomas Kean, the Republican chairman of the panel, defended its work and denied politics played any role.

This commission is a farce. If Kean can't see that he and this "commission" have no credibility whatsoever, then he is a fool. Personally, I think he and the rest of the has-beens on the "committee" just like to grandstand and get their names in the paper. Why else would they even bother to continue with this pathetic joke? Nobody cares anymore. It's clearly a political witch-hunt, and most people have laughed it off by now.

I am now more concerned with how much of my tax money is being wasted every day on this ongoing idiocy?
