Listening to WGN news this morning with Spike you would have thought something momentous was occurring with Bush and Cheney speaking to the 9/11 Commission. I suppose something was, given that the Bush Administration has fought the Commission tooth and nail, it is somewhat surprising that Bush felt the need (even accompanied by Cheney) to speak with them. But that’s about appearances, not substance. Don’t believe the hype.
Lee Goodman, a former prosecutor who is running for the Illinois 10th District U.S. House seat against incumbent Mark Kirk, has this to say in a recent press release:
“The information that has come out so far indicates the need for a more in-depth investigation of the events leading up to the attacks on September 11, 2001. The panel, not the Bush administration, should be controlling the proceedings. Witnesses should not be allowed to filibuster, the way Condoleeza Rice did. The President and Vice-President should be required to testify separately, as the panel originally requested. Their testimony should be on-the-record and under oath. The American people deserve a thorough examination of the facts.”
“It is preposterous that the people who are under investigation should be allowed to limit the investigation. My opponent voted against having a truly independent, in-depth investigation. The public insisted upon one, and we should get it.”
Sounds like common sense to me. If you agree, then kick Goodman whatever you can here. Lee could use the money to get his message out, and we could use someone like Lee.
