9/11 Commission Watch


The White House is attempting, actually, fighting, to keep a terror report related to September 11 secret, MSNBC is reporting.

Is this "moral clarity?"


UPDATE(and a big big BIG hat tip to Maru):

The Justice Department will be reviewing all documents that the commission receives, UPI is reporting.

Think about that for a moment, and then you can conclude whatever you want. I've made my conclusion, and it's blunt.

We're never going to know. Ever. Common sense would think that the governement would overturn all possible stones, fire all possible incompetents, investigate all possible leads (when are we going to hear about the put options?), bring all possible conspirators to justice, and investigate the deaths of 3000 people with as independent and wide a latitude as possible. That's common sense. I'm starting to think that the White House, which almost from DAY ONE has fought to kill this commission and is currently fighting to undermine the very commission that could keep us safe, has absolutely no common sense. But day in and day out ,we're constantly reminded that to question them is unpatriotic. Day in and day out we're reminded that we are at war. Day in and day out we're told "to shut up, the adults are in charge."

I get the feeling the White House hasn't a clue as to what it is doing on this. And that is frightening.

Again I must ask: "This is Moral Clarity?"
