The commission's leaders have taken the extraordinary step of accusing the White House of witness "intimidation," insisting that sensitive witnesses testify only in the presence of a "monitor" from their agency. The parallel to Saddam Hussein's refusal to let Iraqi scientists talk to U.N. weapons inspectors without a similar monitor is too glaring to miss and begs the obvious question: What has Mr. Bush got to hide?
Berkshire Eagle Friday, July 11, 2003 - The Bush administration has never wanted an inquiry into the intelligence and law-enforcement failures that led up to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and it is doing its best to make sure we never get one. Even the tame commission of Washington insiders, led by men of the president's own party, is now complaining that its work is being hampered by foot-dragging from the Pentagon and Justice Department in producing documents and witnesses, in an effort to run the clock out on it before it can complete its work. The commission's leaders have taken the extraordinary step of accusing the White House of witness "intimidation," insisting that sensitive witnesses testify only in the presence of a "monitor" from their agency. The parallel to Saddam Hussein's refusal to let Iraqi scientists talk to U.N. weapons inspectors without a similar monitor is too glaring to miss and begs the obvious question: What has Mr. Bush got to hide? The crudeness of his tactics suggests that whatever it is, it must be pretty bad. The Internet is full of wild theories -- that Mr. Bush knew in advance of 9/11 and allowed it to happen so he could exploit it to get his way in domestic and international politics is the most notable -- and while cyberspace is the natural home of the improbable and the far-fetched, the administration's stonewalling only lends credence to those who believe a cover-up of something is going on. September 11 was the most traumatic incident in recent American history. Three thousand people died in New York, billions in property was destroyed, the national economy tanked and Americans' sense of security was shattered. The men responsible for the attacks are still at large and openly threaten to attack us again. Yet the commission's budget is only $3 million, a pittance compared to the $100 million that was wasted getting to the bottom of Bill Clinton's Whitewater investment and his extramarital affairs. The hearings in the Republican-dominated Congress were a perfunctory affair that attracted even less attention from a sensation-oriented media than is being paid to this commission. The American people deserve a thorough investigation. They want to know why the fighter jets weren't scrambled after the first plane hit the tower, what the Clinton and Bush administrations knew about threats from al-Qaida and what they were doing about them, what citizens of our allies Saudi Arabia and Pakistan financed Osama bin Laden and his hijackers, how the FBI and CIA missed obvious clues and let suspects they were following slip away, why airline security was so lax, what is the meaning of a suspicious pattern of stock transactions that occurred before the attacks, whether law enforcement efforts were subordinated to diplomatic priorities and the needs and desires of American oil companies. Americans want the answers to two basic questions: What went wrong? And what is being done to make sure it never happens again? They should be satisfied with nothing less than an honest effort to get those answers, no matter who they embarrass, and the White House should not stand in the way. http://www.berkshireeagle.com/Stories/0,1413,101~6267~1506312,00.html

Someone in a Mainstream Newspaper has notice that Bush is not very keen on finding out the truth of 911.
What's the matter?
Got something to hide?

"Got something to hide?"
They want to hide the fact that our the CIA and FBI were so inept as to allow 19 Arab savages to attack us. Personally, I doubt that much could have been done to prevent it. Nonetheless, they certainly don't want to admit ineptitude. Thank God they got their heads outa their asses quick enough to start hitting these subhumans back for once.

...it is becoming clearer and clearer with the Ship of State Springing leaks in the Intel Community that the CIA et. al., do not want to take the Rap for Bush's Crimes.
You can repeat your Arab hate Mantra all you want.

"You have yet to EVER PRESENT ONE VALID PIECE OF INFORMATION TO SUPPORT YOUR HATE FILLED SCREEDS. "
Actually, I have presented a wealth of evidence supporting most of the truth of the various aspects of the 9-11 attack by Arab subhumans (what else should I call them..They were INDEED Arab and "subhuman" is a fitting enough title).
That you stubbornly refuse to accept the truth and the mountain of evidence that I and others continually give to you, is hardly my responsibility.
At the point that you are ready to stop supporting and appologizing for monsters, let alone glorifying, in effect, the death of 3000 Americans on 9-11, you can search the database and revisit all the evidence I've posted these last few months.
Until then, I will take your constant screech of "You don't post any evidence" as a cry of desperation when faced with evidence you'd rather not have to deal with.
By the way, not that I care at all what you think, but I don't hate arabs. I DO hate those who would kill me because I don't share their stonage worldview or religion. And if those folks happen to be arab, then I will refer to them as such.

19 Mossad Operatives Conducted a False Flag Operation on 911.
Purpose: Destroy Arab-American Relations and Trick U.S. into taking out Israel's opponents for them.
BUSH KNEW but went along with it for his own reasons.

Perhaps it would be because, to fire them is to ADMIT FAILURE, you dolt.
You've answered your own question.
Christ, you all get dumber by the minute.

why would bush worry about admitting not his own but mueller and tenet's and eberhardt's failure?
at least he would have had scapegoats.
by keeping them on the job and evn promoting one instead bush gave the impression he was backing 3 inept losers.
why would he do that?
