| 9/11 probe eerily similar to Pearl Harbor inquiry |

| EFL - Hattip to WND. It issued a final report, blaming many involved in U.S. national security for failing to do their jobs and recommended sweeping changes to prevent a similar attack in the future. -snip- "The committee has been intrigued throughout the Pearl Harbor proceedings by one enigmatical and paramount question: ’Why, with some of the finest intelligence available in our history, with the almost certain knowledge that war was at hand, with plans that contemplated the precise type of attack that was executed by Japan on the morning of December 7 -- why was it possible for a Pearl Harbor to occur?’ ’’ the final report asked. The committee’s report told a tale of complacency, poor communications between government agencies and officials’ stubborn refusal to contemplate the seemingly impossible, even though an attack on Pearl Harbor had been the subject of military war games. Glad we learned some good lessons and got our money’s worth out of that first commission. Can you imagine how vulnerable we would have been had we not cut through all the government bureaucracy? |

| #2 The main difference I see is that the Ringling Bros Commission is happening during the war and in an election year - i.e. pure partisan shit. The saddest thing, to me, is that there is no sense of shame present in any of these cretins. Being a partisan Commission member deserves a scarlet letter. As for the Gorelick creep, well... :-) |
