9/11 Commission. Despite the politics being played on both sides of this issue, about who was at fault for 911, I think that all would like an objective look at what went wrong with the intelligence community before hand and an objective look at what needs to be done to solve it. That's not going to happen with the crew of commissioners running the investigation.

One of the main complaints about the intelligence community prior to 9/11 is that there was a wall preventing cooperation between the FBI and the CIA. Guess who put that wall there. 9/11 commissioner Jamie Gorelick, who was once the deputy attorney general under Clinton. In a time when fundamentalists (Al-Qaeda, et.al.) were beginning to attack us on our own soil (WTC bombing '93) the DOJ made information sharing significantly worse.
Anyone think this commission is a big waste of time except for me? I certainly hope it's not, but evidence is growing that it is.
