9/11 panel to single out FBI
International Herald Tribune ^ | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2005 | By Philip Shenon

Posted on 10/20/2005 9:47:58 AM PDT by Calpernia

The members of the Sept. 11 commission will sharply criticize the Bush administration and Congress this week in a privately financed report expected to single out the FBI as having failed to act on many of the panel's recommendations to protect the nation from terrorist attack, members of the bipartisan panel and its staff said.

They said the report, scheduled for release on Thursday by a private educational group created by the 10 former commissioners, will also criticize the White House for not doing enough to defend civil liberties and privacy rights as it expanded the government's surveillance powers after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. A civil liberties oversight board created by the White House earlier this year is toothless and underfinanced, some of the commissioners said.

Congress would be criticized, Roemer said, for having failed to follow through on the panel's major recommendations for an overhaul of congressional oversight of intelligence and terrorism issues. In its final report last year, the commission described congressional oversight as "dysfunctional."

The report is being prepared by the 9/11 Public Discourse Project, a lobby group that reflects an unusual effort by members of a federal blue-ribbon commission to press recommendations.

Won't this fraudulent "committee" ever disappear?

Sadly, I fear it won't.

I couldn't help but notice that Timothy Roemer's quotes almost sounded like some of the speech Gorbachev made at the London Summit.

And Gorbachev does have a nice size 'nonpartisan' Foundation fund.

This is the second half of the commission's "mandate".
  1. Whitewash Clinton
  2. Trash Bush

LOL, that's what my first thought was -- got to be in response to Freeh's book. SOP for Clinton.

Able Danger, coming up the rear.

Can we single out the 9/11 Commission for ignoring the anthrax attacks?
