Reply #14: Why indeed? [View All]

What do you suppose they have to hide? If their "incompetence" theory is true, why has nobody been fired or even demoted for their alleged failures?

Why did they resist even this sham investigation for more than a year, then watch as the commission slogged through its paces until July 2004? Why did they assure the investigation's outcome by installing BushCo crony and Rice worshipper Philip Zelikow as executive director? Why did they simply ignore any physical evidence they couldn't explain? Why didn't they allow open testimony from NYPD, FDNY and other first responders?

Again, what do they have to hide? Why did Bush insist on testifying with his puppet master, not under oath, in private, no video or audio recordings allowed, no written notes allowed, questioners frisked before they were allowed to leave the room? And why did the commission agree to these outrageous terms?

Isn't it about time the crime of the century got an investigation at least commensurate with that of a major traffic accident? And shouldn't that investigation be independent, rather than directed by a white house surrogate? And where could you find unbiased investigators and commissioners these days? Would The Hague be such a place?

Personally, I think torture videos are the least of their worries.
