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.

I am very sad to say that I have completely lost confidence in Bush ever doing any such thing. I can't even recall how many times he has been handed such damning evidence on a silver platter only to turn around and either ignore it, blow it off as insignificant, or chastise the person responsible for bringing the evidence to light (Ashcroft). How many times do we have to get our hopes up, only to be crushed, that people will actually be held responsible for 9/11, treason, or subversion, before we start demanding something be done, and I'm not talking about "demanding" something be done on an internet discussion board. Another poster hit the nail right on the head when he said that both parties, from top to bottom, have been doing nothing but putting on a grand show for their bases while in reality doing nothing but covering each others asses. I'm sick.
