9/11 Commission To Check In On How Government Is Implementing Suggestions
June 07, 2005 The September 11th Commission is back at work, checking in on how the federal government is acting on the panel's suggestions, released last year.
The Commission made 41 recommendations on keeping the nation safe when it issued its final report last year.
The report found that in the months leading up to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Federal Aviation Administration failed to take action on numerous intelligence reports about Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
The FAA was "lulled into a false sense of security" and was more concerned with reducing airline congestion and relieving delays, the commissions report concluded. The agency failed to take measures, such as toughening passenger screening and putting more air marshals on planes that conceivably could have altered the events of 9/11, according to the report.
The panel is now holding a series of hearings, which will grade various government agencies on how well they're doing. The first hearing was hosted on Monday and dealt with the FBI and CIA. After several more hearings, the Commission will issue a final report card.
In other words Jamie Gorelick doesnt have enough time to look into her own scandals at Fannie Mae?
I am afraid, however, that our "leaders" will not be shaken into action until....well, who knows what will have to happen. We know for absolute sure that 3000 dead in one attack will not spur the United States into waging all out war on people that have promised to kill us all...so maybe, 10,000 dead in the next attack?...50,000?...how about millions in a nuclear attack...do you suppose that will do it?
Because they're too damn busy hassling little old white grandmothers, children, white businessmen, etc.
It's time we had a little old-fashioned "profiling" based on what we know about terrorists.
Let's start by focusing on the Arabs and muslims.
4th branch of government?
9/11 COMMISSION TO ARRANGE MORE TV FACE TIME AND SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BASHING BUSH ADMINISTRATION
Soon we'll see that B*TCH Breitweiser, then I'll really gag.
In breaking news, the 9/11 commission re-assembled in Washington today to review how the government responded to their recommendations.
To their horror, they found that the government had actually implemented every recommendation they made. "My God, I didn't think they could be THAT stupid", Chairman Kean was heard to say. Gorelick added "It's just like when the FBI took me seriously when I wrote that 'wall of separation' nonsense. Can't anybody recognise sarcasm anymore?"
Former Senator Bob Kerry found some humor in what was otherwise a fiasco, when he discovered that some sketches he was working on for a home improvement project accidentally made it into the package sent to congress. "That explains the new Jacuzzi in the cloakroom", he joked to reporters.
Some commissioners were so shocked that they were left speechless, the first good thing to come from the recommendations. One unidentified member was heard muttering "If I had known they were just going to do whatever we said, I could have made out like a bandit".
