So, now everyone is talking about the testimony of C. Rice, and there is much talk about what should be made public and what should not and so forth and so on. "Could Sept. 11 have been prevented?" is the question this commission was appointed to answer.
Can you say, dog and pony show?
At the end of this public distraction (don't look too close at Iraq, don't pay attention to your civil rights) what would really be the result? Rather, why isn't there an investigation asking "why were no jet fighters scrambled?" 'Cause it's not like the pilots just forgot to go, somebody somewhere had to give the order to stand down. Who gave the order? Why won't the mayor of San Fran tell who called him and told him not to be in the air that day? And here's a good one: who was so far up in the loop about knowing what was going to happen, that he called his friend the mayor? Why was all air traffic in the U.S. suspended except for one plane carrying the royal family back to Saudi Arabia? THESE (and many more) are the questions that should be being asked -and answered.
