Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger raised eyebrows in Washington today by handing in his independent commission's report on 9-11 a full seven months early.
"I suppose I could have sat on it longer for appearance's sake, but I proofread it at Kinko's last night and decided it was good to go," Mr. Kissinger said.
Critics of Mr. Kissinger's appointment to head the independent commission expressed concern that the report, which Mr. Kissinger reportedly took between four and five hours to write, could not possibly be thorough enough.
And their fears that Mr. Kissinger's would fail to probe the Bush administration's handling of 9-11 seemed validated by the fact that the words "Bush" and "administration" do not appear anywhere in the 712-page document.
