9/11 Commission & Media Fail To Connect The Dots
If there's ONE thing that Richard Clarke's testimony has revealed to the world, it's the reason(s) that bushco has opposed this commission from the get-go. There's no way in hell bush wanted any of this to come out, especially from a REPUBLICAN careerist like Clarke!

But where are all of those astute media pundits and 9/11 commissioners on this one? They LOVE the phrase that "if we had connected the dots, 9/11 might have been averted." Yet with Clarke's testimony, ALL of the dots are being connected on the mendacity and criminal activities of bushco.

So why isn't the media connecting the dots? Oh, that's right...because the media IS one of the dots!

1. there are some stories that are just so big and so important . . .
that they just overrun all attempts to squelch them . . . 9/11 is one of those stories . . . though the administration and the Commission want to keep a lid on the true nature and scope of what happened on that day, they won't be able to . . . just like Watergate, events will overtake them, and they'll be forced to deal with reality instead of spin . . . gonna be interesting to watch . . .

2. The Warren Commission didn't "fail to connect the dots."
It was mandated to establish that Oswald acted alone.

The 9/11 Commission isn't "failing to connect the dots."

It was mandated to establish the attack was a surprise which could not have been prevented.

There are places official commissions dare not, cannot, will never go.

The dots have nothing to do with it.
