Common Sense: Did Sept. 11 Commission choose To Dismiss Able Danger? The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States -- otherwise known as the Sept. 11 Commission -- was supposed to suggest changes in law and policy to help protect us from terror attacks. To make such recommendations, the commission needed to discern what happened. Regrettably, the commission's public hearings devolved into a political circus instead of a fact-finding exercise. Instead of solving the numerous riddles of how 19 terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 Americans, apologists for the Clinton administration used the hearings to deflect blame -- and point to the culpability of the Bush administration......... Snip....... SF Post Chronical_____

Yeah, so if the Clinton adminstration's DOD refused to allow the findings of this "Able Danger" group to be used by counter-terrorism folks at the FBI, that's something we ought to know, right? I'll be the first to say that we don't know all the facts here and neither administration was focused on combating terror pre-9/11, but the reaction of the 9/11 commission to this had been less than inspiring.
You can't just say the attacks happened in 2001 so Bush has to be the one responsible, Ron. That type of thinking is done not by people who wear team jerseys, but by people that have the team logo tatooed on their bicep.

...we become partisan and turn it into a game of subterfuge.
I think the precise question is, did the 9/11 commission do exactly that?

To bold or italicize you would type "[-]" before your word and "[/-]" after, replacing the "-" with a "b" to bold or an "i" for italics (and disregarding the quotation marks).
