I'm aware that we have that commission. But Bush tried to block that one as well as the 9-11 commission. If not for the tireless work of the 9-11 families, we wouldn't have a 9-11 commission report today. Unfortunately the commission on intelligence is far from being independant. In the words of Senator Byrd: The President has described the panel that he created as being an independent commission. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. This commission is 100 percent under the thumb of the White House. Who created the panel's charter? The President. Who chooses the panel members? The President. To whom does the panel report? The President. Whom shall the panel advise and assist? The President. Who is in charge of determining what classified reports the panel may see? The President. Who gets to decide whether the Congress may see the panel's report? The President. Orca
