I sure do wish this would run on the front page of USA Today...

Guardian Unlimited Special reports Axis of liars

Bush refused for a time to hand over some relevant documents, and he refused to appear before the commission (President Clinton did, with no qualms). He agreed to only after four conditions were met:

· That his testimony would not be under oath
· That he would only appear if he could have Dick Cheney with him (I guess to answer the questions)
· That it would not be open to the public
· That there would be no recording of any of it.
And to top it all, Republicans put a "fix" in the law that prevented the commission from apportioning blame for 9/11
...
It also reveals that there were 10 opportunities (six under Bush and four under Clinton) to derail the plot before the attacks, but then it whitewashes by not really "indicting" anyone.
...
Did Clinton share some responsibility? Absolutely, and the commission concludes that. But remember, when Clinton tried to have Osama bin Laden killed, some Republicans in congress criticized him for trying to draw attention from their top priority, Monica Lewinsky.
