"The commission's staff concluded that the officer's account was not sufficiently reliable to warrant revision of the report or further investigation."
Which tells you, in a nutshell, why you should be skeptical of the Commission's report. I'm not a conspiracy whacko, but we're relying here on the decisions of anonymous staff members to include or exclude bits of information. What criteria did they use?

The CYA continues. Now it's the 9/11 Commission. How about somebody pursue the truth?
To: Peach
Ever wonder how we knew that the 19 hijackers were responsible for 9/11 within hours of the attacks? They had the lists of passengers on the planes. It couldn't have been too difficult to spot the bad guys on those lists.

"A Navy officer is not "sufficiently credible," yet Jaime Gorelick and her Wall between Law Enforcement and Intelligence is??"
Gorelick's credibility would be subject to question because she has an interest in the outcome of the proceedings.

"They thought he just made up Mohammed Atta's name and it just happened to be the same as the 9/11 hijacker?"
Yep, just like the "Hamburg student" who met with the Iraqi security agent in Prague in April 2000 "just happened" to look like Mohammed Atta.
To: txrangerette
I heard a soundbite where the Commission is supposedly claiming that because the officer did not or could not provide proper documentation of what he told them, that they decided to discount what he said.
Sounds to me like the perfect way to treat a Liberal's statements.

Has anyone heard a peep from Kristin Breitweiser and the Jersey Girls on this matter?
They're blaming Janet Reno, and covering for Jamie Gorelick...

"Too many "fixers" including Gorelick and Richard Ben Veniste."
In my opinion, Gorelick and Ben Veniste would have blown up if this information had been made public by the Commission.

It's not stupidity... it's deliberate indifference. Right. sinister as all hell.
The Dems protect the Dem political class while the GOP protects all the political class. If this pointed to a Repub, they would be ridden out of town on a rail. And rightly so.
And to think Congress was targeted, still most don't give a damn. I always wonder what would have happened if the PA plane would have succeeded. I have to think, sadly, that we would have been better off.

Obviously. Conflict of interest, anyone?

Because we paid them to do it so we could then attack Islamic countries.

One thing I know for certain: as long as the Commission's findings protect Clinton Administration actions, there will be legions of Democrats and media people to defend the Commission's findings.
To: TomGuy
Gorelick and Ben Veniste were nothing more than partisan pricks on that Commission.
To: TomGuy
Good post and some pointed questions.
IMHO, the point that Ashcroft testified is the point that the commission officially turned into a political dog and pony, bread and circus show for the masses...and BOTH party bases.
We all know why Gorelick was put on the commission by the dems...what I cant understand is why nobody on the pub side..including apparently Bush himself...ever made an issue out of it. Your article here presents to us yet one more instance of Bush the enigma.
Ashcroft was an honorable man and a patriot, who served Bush well as AG.
The feds treatment of Sandy Berger sent up warning flares that something else big was going down behind the scenes. I think that people like Weldon and Duncan Hunter are not going to let this go away. Lets see how much backing they get from Bush and the other Republican leadership.
People should also realize that this is yet another instance where the pubs, and Bush specifically, have been given ammunition to crush the Clinton legacy and deny Hillary her anointed shot at the WH. Lets see if they make good use of it.

Now, we know that's not going to happen. Unless somebody refuses to hew to the Commission's line.

"What else is the commission covering up?
Why did Bubba feel the need to bring Bruce Lindsey?"
And Jamie Gorelick and Richard Ben Veniste. And Sandy Berger to "scrutinize" the National Archives documents.
