It is widely recognized that Bush has seen the writing on the wall that there would be pressure for Congress to initiate an investigation into the WMD fiasco. This is clearly a preemptive strike to gain control of who will lead the investigation. Americans are wising up to this administrations tactics, and this move was expected. Why should I expect any more from this investigation than the stonewalling of the 9/11 investigation? I am not shouting anything, just being correctly cynical because of past examples of this adminstration's secrecy and deception. Del

All panels are bogus. That has always been their purpose. In any panel today, there should NEVER be any Democrat traitor allowed within a mile of it. What's missed is the dual paradox: 1) Elected career officials use the smokscreen of panels to avoid representing their boss-the people. Term limits would give the people representatives who would actually lead. 2) The people accept the phony panels because their tyrant, the media, has relentlessly trained them to think that they cannot trust their representatives to represent them. Term limits would give them representatives who would lead them DISPITE their ignorance and apathy... Thus, through phony panels, the people get punished for their lack of diligence as citizens, and relinquish more liberty to the media dictators...

While the Clintons sit back in their homes and laugh at him...

>All it does when you criticize before you even know is make you look like a fool. If he picks Cheney, Tenet and Frist, then you may have a point. But to shout that his panel will be bogus before he even picks one just shows your hatred and prejudice. Grow up. Totally fair. Just remember that if some people are skeptical, it's because the last two people he's picked to run such commissions have been Henry Kissinger and John Ashcroft. But, my jury's still out... I'm happy he's picking a commission. If I were him, I'd pick John McCain and Joe Biden to head it, but they're both probably too busy for that right now. -Z
