#1 âHowever, I would stop there and say we have no evidence that there is some sort of official sanction by the government of Iran for this activity. We have no evidence that there is some sort of official connection between Iran and 9/11,â he said.

For those of you looking for signs of blowback from our recent political drubbing of the CIA's ability to interpret intel, here it is. "Sure we know the Iranians let them in, sure we know the border guards were under orders to cooperate and not stamp their passports, sure they had all sorts of assistance in-country from the Iranian government, but that doesn't mean that the Iranian government actually supported them in their plan." I could get a jury conviction on accomplice liability based on the little bit that's made its way into the papers but though they have vastly superior knowledge it appears that the CIA is now effectively paralyzed and/or at least unable to make the call. This bodes ill for any significant US action in the WOT in the near future IMHO.

#2 9/11 ~~Commision~~ Circus, pfeh. 95% crass and craven political grandstanding and TV face-time game. They will tell us nothing that wasn't intuitively obvious to the casual observer, and will likely continue to do truly stupid things, such as recommend replacing Tenet now, in the middle of the most vicious political season in 140 yrs, instead of after the election. Wankers - with mild apologies to the very few who seem to understand what their actual mission was: make America safer.

Cool flag, though, doncha think? Their own fucking flag. Right. Believe that shit? Wonder how much that cost us.

#3 .com, I'm surprised Richard ben Veniste doesn't have his own flag. The Black Banner of the Grand Inquisitor, or something like that.

#4 He certainly made his name well known outside the Beltway. How the "commission" members were chosen has to be a trip. "Okay, all the Donks can be asshats - and 50%+ of the Pubs. That'll be fair and insure the report will do some good." Pfeh.
