Errors of Commission

The 9-11 Commission was established to get to the bottom of the attacks that day. However, it often skipped over key issues:

*Bush and Cheney were interviewed together, in secret, with no record of the meeting.

*Florida senator Bob Graham's joint congressional inquiry had unearthed the outlines of what may have been a Saudi spy operation linked to Al Qaeda and operating in the U.S. But the commission dismissed Saudi involvement and cleared the royal family.

*The commission never seriously inquired into the activities of Pakistan, whose secret intelligence agency had created the Taliban and subsequently backed Al Qaeda.

...

Every day it looks as if the government's main probe of 9-11 has turned into a political fix.

Mr Ridgeway seems to have done a good job as usual. His analysis is succinct and clear: the 9/11 Commission's results are questionable, no matter which way you look at it.

Given the number of ommissions in the Commission's report it is a bit surprising how stubbornly its Chairman clings to the findings which admittedly could be wrong. As per Dr. Griffin who has studied the Commission's Report extensively, it is because the report is an outright lie. Personally I do not support that notion but I do believe that it is incomplete to the point of being worthless.

Thus what are we left with - considering all of the above? We are back to where we were that sunny morning almost four years ago. We still do not know who is responsible for the atrocity that was committed against us that morning.
