Paul Beston is correct that the 9/11 Commission is nothing but a Monday morning quarterback session filled with ex-politico blowhards trying to revive their names from obscurity. Seriously, who even knows half these bozos? I never heard of most of them.

But to try and blame Rudy Giuliani for what the terrorists did is downright disgusting and the panel members should be ashamed of themselves. They also should be drawn and quartered for letting those agitators in so they can turn the entire commission into a circus.

As Beston points out, New York City politicians and press did everything possible during Giuliani's administration to thwart anything he tried to accomplish. I'll bet good money that if he wanted to upgrade the radio communication network they'd have fought him tooth and nail. I'll also bet that the reason that communication network was so antiquated was because of those same city politicians protecting their precious turfs and using the power of the purse to pass out favors to their cronies. How about an investigation into how the contracting for those services was rewarded?

After watching the last few weeks of this tragedy called an investigation I've concluded one thing: President George W. Bush was correct in first trying to prevent this useless waste of time, tax payer money, and ridiculous finger pointing.

p>If you ask me, these commission members don't even deserve to be treated like prisoners in Abu Ghraib -- that's too good for them! br> -- Greg Barnard br> Franklin, Tennessee /p> p> Good article about the NY hearings with the 911 commission. I think Bush let this commission go forward just to show how ridiculous the left has become regarding Sept. 11 and to highlight the absurdity of some of the victim's survivors. We must understand in one sense that there were many heroes that day, both civilian and NYPD/NYFD, who gave all for others. However, that doesn't seem to register with either the commission or some of the victims' survivors, as this article pointed out. Thankfully, those in charge of the war on terrorism are able to stay above this farce and continue in their job of protecting us. Eventually though, this stupidity will have a negative effect on the war effort, troop morale, and result in a public relations victory for our enemies, same as happened in Vietnam. What the left doesn't seem to understand is that they are the ultimate targets of the terrorists. Not only are the extremists ready to wipe every Jew and Christian from the face of the earth, but the idiotic left also. So as the farce called the 911 commission continues to bring their circus to a town near you, and continue to bash the war effort, along with the victim mentality, The enemy is lying in wait for that moment when victory will be theirs. It seems Rudy was only half right in describing who was responsible for 911. He was looking at the facilitators. br> ---
