9/11 Commission Fails Its Job

Remember when the country actually had government officials who actually stopped at nothing to get the truth. Nowadays, to quote "A Few Good Men" we can't seem to handle the truth.

Specifically, the 9/11 Commission Co-chairs say they got the runaround from the Pentagon, the FAA and most especially, were not hard enough on Rudy Giuliani. They feared that they would be perceived as too hard on the already suffering fire and police officers. Here's the post from Americablog:

We now learn that the 9/11 Commission couldn't get the information it needed from Rudy Giuliani because newspaper editorials criticized the commission for asking tough questions of NYC's firefighters and police. You see, the firemen and the police were heroes, so we don't get to ask them tough questions that might help us avoid a future terrorist attack, or at least respond to it better - you see, that just wouldn't be "nice." Oh no. In Soviet America, we just tell the cops and firemen how great they are, rather than get the information we need to save another, oh, 3,000 lives.

Amen.
