Let's take them for their word II
Andrew McCarthy does an excellent job in National Review Online explaining conflicts of interest and how Democrat commissioner Jamie Gorelick's participation in the 9/11 commission is completely untenable. But what bothers me is how inept even the Republican members are, most especially Chairman Thomas Kean from my old home state of New Jersey. The utter vapidity required for any public servant to say, "people ought to stay out of our business" is incredible. That a member of a fact-finding commission would say it is laughable. That the chairman of that commission would say it is nothing short of disgusting.
You don't want us in your business Mr. Kean? Fine with me. Now get out of our business. Take this commission and whatever it says - regardless of what it reveals about either party, either of the involved presidential administrations, and whomever it seeks to blame - and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. You'll hear nothing from me from now on but how totally irrelevant and illegitimate this bag of wind is. The whole thing's a fraud.

Whole thing was a fraud from the get go. Dean tried to pressure Gorelick behind the scenes to recuse herself but she held firm. If it had been someone in the Bush administration who had written that memo, the press would be all over and the outcry would wipe the Iraq and Hamas stories from the front page. Partisan hack job.
