Freeh on the 9/11 Commission

Will someone please explain to me why we should ever trust another of these cloak and dagger investigations?

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Louis Freeh, former head of the FBI, wonders what the 9/11 Commission knew and when they knew it.

The 9/11 Commission appears to me to have been an idea of good purpose. However, our politicos are so entrenched in their opposition to each other that they are unwilling or unable to function in an independent capacity.

The thought comes to mind of the way we used to pick teams on the playground. One side picking the best player, the next side picking the best counterbalance. When all things are said and done, each team should be more or less equal to their adversary. Unfortunately, what these hacks do not realize is that they are supposed to be part of the same team with a common goal!

When CYA politics can taint an investigation this important then we are in serious trouble. Some very important people, people with mounds of power and political muscle, have somehow forgotten to give a damn about our country. To them it is the argument itself that counts more than the substance.

So, if we are in dispute over the ball being fair or foul, whether baseball or hockey is more entertaining, or what came first, the chicken or the egg, we can employ the 9/11 Commissioners to investigate. But, if we want to investigate something that really matters I'd rather have a group of people that love their country sitting behind the table than this group of debate team contestants.

Thanks Drudge for the assist.
