Gee, something tells me that he’ll find that the federal government (especially the departments headed by his appointees) did nothing wrong…
What a joke.
Won’t he be surprised when all signs point to a crisis of leadership from the very top on down.
Probably the end result will be the Director of FEMA getting the Congressional Medal of Freedom.
Maybe he’ll find the source of the problem at the exact same time OJ finds Nicole’s killer.
Hey, a little respect for Mr. Brown please, you’re talking about our next Supreme Court Justice!
Ouch.
You should preface comments like that with “Warning - internal organ damage hazard”.

Naw, it’ll be okay. I’ve heard he’s going to round up the surviving members of the Warren Commision to find out what really went on.
Why doesn’t he get called out on this shit in the media?
…any more."
Sort of speaks for itself, doesn’t it? One hopes that people will read this for themselves and recognize the ridiculousness without requiring a special call-out on it. Of course, one also hopes for a bigger dong, but there one goes.
Isn’t that a quote from, like, 9/12/01 or something?

Official GWB Commission conclusion:
“Brownie, you’re doing a helluva job!”
If the Democrats had any balls at all, they would be running that clip in every campaign commercial in 2006. But we all know they won’t, because that wouldn’t be nice.
Kinda like the Dems putting Jamie Gorelick on the 9/11 Commission so she could investigate her own failure to ‘connect the dots,’ huh?
That’s just desperate and lame.
This might be a stupid question but who the hell is Jamie Gorelick?
From the Chicago Sun-Times: http://www.suntimes.com/output/laney/cst-edt-laney22.html
Members also decided not to include this information: Four of the hijackers who flew planeloads of innocent people into the Twin Towers in New York, into the Pentagon outside Washington, and into a Pennsylvania field – four of them – had been identified by a military unit called “Able Danger” a full year before they struck. Members of the 9/11 commission neglected to add the fact that “Able Danger” wanted to warn the FBI to be on the alert for these men but was stopped because of a directive from commission member Jamie Gorelick, who was then deputy attorney general under Janet Reno.
Also:
The 9/11 final report fails to include memos sent by New York U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White, who prosecuted the first Islamofascist attack on the Twin Towers. White wrote a series of memos complaining that Gorelick’s “Wall of Separation” was dangerous to the nation because it would keep the country from stopping would-be terrorists before they strike. White’s memos were sent to the Clinton Justice Department. They were also shown to the 9/11 commission, but there’s not a mention of them in the final report.
Imagine the reaction if Bush appointed, say, Dick Cheney to head up an investigation into alleged wrongdoings at Halliburton? And then he cleared them?
They actually printed the word “Islamofascist” in a news article? Oh, wait, no they didn’t. That’s an opinion column, chock full of assumptions and speculations and uncited sources.
Watch that party line son. There are no wrongdoings at Halliburton.
You’re right. I knew it was an editorial but I figured the basic facts would stand.
How 'bout this actual from the New York Post? I realize they’re not CBS News when it comes to factual content, but they make the necessary points: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nypost/20050818/cm_nypost/911omissionscont39d
*Because, it’s becoming clear that the commission’s failure to delve into Able Danger has less to do with the unit’s credibility than it does with protecting commission member Jamie Gorelick.
Gorelick, then a deputy attorney general under Clinton, put into place the “wall of separation” that precluded sharing intelligence on terrorists with law-enforcement agencies. *
No, more like a problem due to a “wall” that existed from before she was ever on the scene.
Still doesn’t seem like a news article, but it does give me a bit more context. It seems that this “wall of separation” was due to privacy concerns about legal aliens, that may or may not have involved legal issues as well. The issue of privacy vs. safety is still being debated today, and I’m not going to hang Gorelick solely due to that.
