The latest travesty: Cleland out, Kerrey (a PNACer) in. This "investigation" has been doomed from day one. Conflict of Interest? The Committee reeks with it.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50947-2003Dec9.htmlFormer Nebraska senator Bob Kerrey, who served as the ranking Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, was named yesterday as the newest member of the independent panel investigating the government's performance before and during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Kerrey, an influential figure in intelligence circles who has also been a strong supporter of CIA Director George J. Tenet, takes over the seat on the bipartisan panel vacated by former Georgia senator Max Cleland (D), whose nomination to the Export-Import Bank board was confirmed yesterday. Commission rules do not allow Cleland to serve on both panels.
Kerrey's appointment comes at a crucial time for the 10-member commission, which is in the midst of a debate over whether it should seek an extension to its statutory May 27 deadline. The panel has been slowed by fights with the Bush administration and New York over access to information, and its hearings so far have focused on broad policy issues.
The appointment also earned cautious support from the Family Steering Committee, a prominent group of terrorism victims' relatives that has been closely monitoring the commission's work. But the group cautioned that its support is "based on a favorable outcome after the standard vetting for any potential conflicts of interest."
Kerrey told the group last week that he will resign as a member of a CIA science advisory panel, one committee member said. Several commission members have recused themselves from specific issues because of potential conflicts of interest, and the relatives group has criticized ties between Bush administration officials and the commission's executive director, Philip Zelikow.
