These public hearings are part of our search for truth, not to point fingers or to pin blame

Of course not. Only private-sector officials are crucified. Federal government employees are never held accountable for their criminal negligence and the deaths of innocents. They break the law with impunity and are promoted or, at worst, asked to retire with full pensions. The only government employees who are ever disciplined are those who try to blow the whistle on incompetents or criminals employed by the government.

I won't forget the president going to CIA headquarters after September 11th to give a pep talk. He should have fired half the people there for the billions wasted on failed intelligence programs.

I won't forget the president going to CIA headquarters after September 11th to give a pep talk. <P? It was even more irksome when he clasped Tenet's shoulder and expressed confidence in him (blech).

I won't forget the "pep talk" from Gore and all those democratic lawmakers on impeachment day, December, 1998, right around the time all this stuff was going down.

And nobody else should, either.

9/11 WAS the biggest intelligence failure ever,American Soldier.

Yep,Authority, no one will be held accountable.

All who failed should be impeached,recalled, fired.

That means,Bush,Cheny,Rice,Ashcroft,Mueller,Congress, etc.

All of these people,while earning the big bucks,failed to fulfill their mandates.

I loathe and despise them all.

They all killed thousands on 9/11.
