Podhoretz s a WHINY WIMP!
Maybe there is a reason that conservative writers are downplaying this story as much as the democrats are trying to distract america from this story by their recent conversion to border concern in NM and Arizona.
It has been tossed about on the web that a 911 comission staffer named Phillip Zelcowe is the person who decided not to bump this up to the 911 commission.
Phillip Zelcowe is currenting advising Condi Rice in the state department.
Maybe this will explain why the republician comgressmen have joined the democrats to keep this under the rug. It also might explain why the word has gone out to conservatives who are not pushing this story. Something is causing both parties to pull out the stops from keeping this story from exploding.
