<<Does the Panel think it's offering a timely help to tell the truth now? Or the Panel thinks that its suggestion to give more power to the powerhouse appointed spy chief will make sure US won't fall into another “preempt strike” trap?>

"Tell the Truth"? LOL. Truth is a lie for the vicious Bush Administration. Not a single man from the indicted US intelligence community has come forward to accept any form of responsibility for this failure by resigning in public and stating his reasons why. Worse, much worse in political terms, no member of the Bush Administration from the President on down has stood forward to accept responsibility. Nor have any of the chairmen or the members of the numerous Congressional Committees sitting in either the US House of Representatives or the Senate (which are supposed to exercise oversight over the intelligence community) resigned. In sum, nobody is responsible. If nobody is in fact responsible, the situation is set up for a future policy of anything goes. External and aggressive war has been waged on a pretext so threadbare that it has been torn apart. This has been followed by an armed occupation of the defeated land. If all this can be done with no consequences, then political power in the US is Supreme and there is no other power there to hold these practitioners of intelligence, statecraft and warcraft to any account.
