We were united on on 9/11. The commission seems hell-bent on never letting that happen again.
We put firemen, police, and other first responders on their rightful pedestal honoring the sacrfice of dead Americans who "ran in as others ran out"; the commission chastised them. The whole world saw Rudy Giuliani as a man who seemed born for the moment, a civilian leader with the fortitude of the great generals of history when the country needed one; the commission berated him. Nobody in the country could ever envision a time when fighter jets would be asked to shoot down passenger planes; the commission never gives a second thought to what such action would really mean: the American military killing innocent Americans. Imagine the outrage. A Democratic justice department raised "the Wall" on intelligence sharing; John Ashcroft is called to the carpet for failures instituted in part by a smug member of the commission that speaks down to him now. Four widows, well-spoken and funded in part by John Kerry's wife's foundation, are the only voices we hear from the families in the media and more disgustingly in their little outbursts at hearings; while silently thousands of other families quietly watch and miss their loved ones. The media runs with one paragraph of a report about the connection between Saddam and AQ misrepresenting that paragraph and the last 15 years of history as they do.
I couldn't be more disgusted.
