I just find it hard to believe that the republicans on the comittee were that dumb. I have respect for Ashcroft at least, pointing to Gorelick in his testimony.
we missed a golden opportunity to tag clinton's stewardship of the nations military, intelligence, and law enforcement apparatus with the blame for 9/11 - where it belongs. instead, his wife stands a chance at returning to the white house as president. if that isn't a monumental political screw-up, I don't know what is.
You can only move so far, so fast against a universally hostile news media.
If the press was neutral, then yes, we missed a golden opportunity.
But the media bias has only delayed their day of reckoning. The facts are coming in, and GOP Congressman Curt Weldon deserves kudos in this matter (for exposing the 9/11 panel lies), as does GOP bigwig Ashcroft (who exposed the Gorelick Wall).
Moreover, with the elections over, this can't be spun as a partisan stunt so easily. The Radical Left is very boxed in right now. They've made many crucial errors, and say what you will about the GOP, but the GOP is well-positioned to clean house.
