WOW! Who could've stated it any better than this? If they contrive a Katerina Commission, as the CLintons are adamnant to do, I hope that this is read daily to all members so they can keep their bearings!
You mean a Katrina Whitewash Commission, don't you?
The 9/11 Commission was set up with the intention of not exposing the real culprits (the Klintoons) and hiding their criminal and criminally negligent misdeeds from view (Jamie Gorelick, etc.) instead whitewashing the blame all around (heavy doses on the Bush Administration) and the entire responsibility for the death of over 3000 Americans fuzzed up completely.
Congressional Hearings, period. Followed by Federal indictments of the criminally guilty, period. Full disclosure, period. That's what is needed here, not another coverup commission!
But, that's what the Democrats are now desperately trying to avoid - hence, the early hue and cry for another "Commission", which they will stack with the guilty and direct completely over the tepid objections of the flaccid Republican members, just like the 9/11 Commission.
What are the Democrats really trying to hide in Louisiana, anyhow, besides criminal incompetence? Could it be where the billions of dollars in spent Homeland Security funds really went? All you have to ask yourself is where were the emergency SATCOM radios for New Orleans - or rather where did the money for those radios go - and then start unraveling perhaps one of the largest thefts of Federal money ever discovered (besides Medicare, Medicaid and Welfare).
Lots of state and local officials are sweating out the coming microscope and the national Dems (led by Hillary and Bill, who are probably criminally involved in the Louisiana corruption) are doing their best to sideline a genuine investigation before the bodies are even collected. That's why they don't want the Feds taking control of any events in Lousiana and that's why they are battling in "turf wars" against all common sense.
It makes lots of sense to them. They are trying to stay out of jail and hope they can keep prying eyes out of discovering the criminal corruption which made this disaster even worse than it is.
The Dems will put Governor Blanco on the commission, if the 9/11 Commission and Jamie Goerlick are any indication.
