I guess I am getting too cynical, but, does setting up a bipartisan congressional committee to investigate the coverup of information by a nonpartisan bipartisan committee really going to solve anything?

of course not, that was Rush's point today - both parties serve to protect the political class from blame.

the only way something would happen on this, is if somebody outside the DC "club" who has some national prominence, called them out on it. My pick for that job - Rudy Giuliani.

I have my doubts that we will ever get a good clean look at what happened. When questions were raised about Gorelick before, there were republicans ready to defend her.

The Congressional Committee will have Democrats on it. But, as with the House and the Senate, the Committee will be chaired by a Republican and have an operating majority of Republicans. That also means the primary staff will be Republican. (The Democrats will have minority staff.)

Couple that with the opportunity to have these new documents in hand and Jamie Gorelick on the stand under oath. Yes, I think some hay can definitely be made NOW, especially since anyone who can read without moving their lips knows now that the 9/11 Commission failed seriously.
