Swearing in at any official committee hearing is viewed by this administration as a superfluous measure that was eliminated from the hearings of Big Oil before the Senate Committee.
Obstruction of Justice in the 9/11 Commission Hearings.
The Reasons to impeach just got longer.
Impeachment needs to be acted upon NOW !!!
...The review was conducted earlier this month after the disclosure that in November 2005, the C.I.A. destroyed videotapes documenting the interrogations of two Qaeda operatives.
A seven-page memorandum prepared by Philip D. Zelikow, the panel’s former executive director, concluded that “further investigation is needed” to determine whether the C.I.A.’s withholding of the tapes from the commission violated federal law.
In interviews this week, the two chairmen of the commission, Lee H. Hamilton and Thomas H. Kean, said their reading of the report had convinced them that the agency had made a conscious decision to impede the Sept. 11 commission’s inquiry.
Mr. Kean said the panel would provide the memorandum to the federal prosecutors and congressional investigators who are trying to determine whether the destruction of the tapes or withholding them from the courts and the commission was improper.
A C.I.A. spokesman said that the agency had been prepared to give the Sept. 11 commission the interrogation videotapes, but that commission staff members never specifically asked for interrogation videos.
The review by Mr. Zelikow does not assert that the commission specifically asked for videotapes, but it quotes from formal requests by the commission to the C.I.A. that sought “documents,” “reports” and “information” related to the interrogations...
There was no incompetency in the 911 Commission request. The Bush/Cheney White House premeditatedly withheld information from the 9/11 Commission. The Commission's work is now tainted and all recommendations and proceedings need to be reviewed. I don't know what changes can be made considering there is no new evidence, simply discarded by this administrations' lack of ability to govern effectively. The Bush/Cheney White House in 'not being particularly helpful' has compromised the security of the United States of America.
They need to be impeached and impeached now !!! There is no excuse for any further delay.
