Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton, the two chairmen of the 9/11 commission, wrote a NY Times editorial on January 2, 2008 that said the CIA or the White House obstructed their investigation ~ and it doesn't get more obvious than this.
" MORE than five years ago, Congress and President Bush created the 9/11 commission. The goal was to provide the American people with the fullest possible account of the “facts and circumstances relating to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001” ~ and to offer recommendations to prevent future attacks. Soon after its creation, the president’s chief of staff directed all executive branch agencies to cooperate with the commission.
The commission’s mandate was sweeping and it explicitly included the intelligence agencies. But the recent revelations that the C.I.A. destroyed videotaped interrogations of Qaeda operatives leads us to conclude that the agency failed to respond to our lawful requests for information about the 9/11 plot. Those who knew about those videotapes ~ and did not tell us about them ~ obstructed our investigation." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/02/opinion/02kean.html?pagewanted=print.
And do remember that Dick Cheney and George W Bush refused to testify under oath to the 9/11 commission ~ and Cheney insisted that they be interviewed together and off the record.
Moyer's documentary reports that 500 men have been freed from Guantanamo with no explanation and 250 remain in solitary confinement ~ with no charges filed.
So what do you do when your innocent and being politically used ? You will eventually commit suicide ~ "A Yemeni detainee at Guantanamo Bay has died of an apparent suicide, US military officials said Tuesday. His is the fifth apparent suicide at the offshore US prison, which President Barack Obama supposedly hopes to close by January 2010." http://www.truthout.org/060309O
Guantanamo is cloaked in secrecy for good reason ~ it is Cheney's greatest lie and rationalization for his unconstitutional acts and crimes against humanity. Guantanamo is literally a Potemkin village ~ a hollow or false construct, physical or figurative, meant to hide the undesirable or potentially damaging political reality of America's war on terror.
The last thing Cheney wants to reveal is that most of these detainees are innocent ~ which explains his comments Monday that the only alternative to holding some suspected terrorists indefinitely would be to execute them, arguing against the Obama administration's plans to close the Guantanamo detainee prison. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22752.htm
