You're playing a little loose with the facts, ichMael. You misquoted the article you cited. The article says that 6 of 10 Keane commissioners claimed that Bush Administration officials gave them false information - that's common knowledge.

Yes, I'm sure there are mistakes and discrepancies in the Keane report, but it appears to me that the report is basically sound and factual. I suppose that in the interest of full disclosure, I should say that I spent 25 years as an investigator for the Federal Government, and another 3 years in intelligence. I came to expect not to get the whole truth from politically appointed officials, but that simply motivated me to dig deeper. I'm very sure that the 9/11 incidents were fully investigated - and that the investigations are still going on. Were there coverups? Oh, I suppose there were - but nothing of any significance. And besides, the legitimate press serves as a good counterbalance, to keep the government investigators honest. There was no way that I wanted a newspaper reporter to uncover something I missed.
