Bush to Name Iraq Intelligence Commission

[rodbarnett]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats say they're worried an inquiry into intelligence failures planned by President Bush won't be truly independent. Some Republicans worry the inquiry - at least the fifth now underway - will distract the CIA from key tasks.

With discontent growing on both sides, the White House was leaning toward announcing the commission and its members Wednesday when Bush is expected to give a speech on terrorism at Library of Congress, a senior administration official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Bush said Monday he wants an independent panel to uncover "all the facts" on prewar intelligence in Iraq and also "look at our war against proliferation and weapons of mass destruction" in a broader context.

In one week, Bush has gone from dismissing the need for a review to discussing what form such a panel should take.

1. If the list doesn't start with Carter and Ford...

it'll be a total sham.

9. Why Ford?

He was on the Warren Commission and I think it was a whitewash. I want someone totally free of Politics.

12. Umm....

Henry Ford? He's dead. John Ford? He's dead, too.

Oh, you mean Gerald Ford... the one who pardoned Nixon "for the good of the country." And who spent a goodly part of his career in the House on a mission from the right-wing, to impeach Supreme Court Justice Robert O. Douglas, and who altered an essential part of the Warren Report:

That Ford? He'd be great for the hand-picked commission of a right-wing president.

2. The republicans are such idiots. We can't have an independent

investigation because it will take away from the CIA's main task...(The war on terror???).

Fear, fear, fear. Now if there is another attack, it will be the investigations fault.

If this wasn't so serious, it would laughable.

Internal CIA?
Congress?
