Article fails to highlight PROBABLE coverup inside 9/11 Commission, conflict of interest by Gorelick, involvement of DoD lawyers, and shutdown by Generals.

And fails to mention destruction of the data, by dubious orders.

IMO Rumsfeld took a breather, to get up to speed on what may be revealed about the previous administration's role.

Hopefully the RESULT will lay out a firm basis for the position that democrats can't be trusted with our national security.

Like Specter or not, he is an experienced guy, and I see no reason why he would short circuit this. Biden may also see political advantage in making himself the democrat that called it as he saw it, therefore can be trusted.

He might short circuit this based on what Hilary found in his FBI file when she had it copied.

I happen to agree. I see Specter as an enemy, because his main goal is to preserve a Liberal Supreme Court. He's clever. When he saw that Robert's nomination could not be stopped, he started to act like a conservative. He's always been smart and clever this way. If Bush nominates another conservative, however, Specter will, in my opinion, do everything he can to defeat the nomination.

As despicable as this is, it does not mean that Specter will act as a bad guy in every area of government. My impression so far is that he wants to get to the bottom of Able Danger. Another thing to consider about Specter, is that he 77 years old, in ill health, and no one believes he will ever run for office again. He is really not afraid to make anyone, or any group of people angry.
