9/11 Commission Says White House, CIA Guilty of “Obstruction.”

Their words, not mine. Read Greenwald’s piece on this.

Both legally and politically, it’s hard to imagine a more significant scandal than the President and Vice President deliberately obstructing the investigation of the 9/11 Commission by concealing and then destroying vital evidence which the Commission was seeking. Yet that’s exactly what the evidence at least suggests has occurred here.
What possible justification is there for the White House to refuse to say what the role of Addington, Gonzales, Bush and Cheney was in all of this? Having been ordered by Bush’s new Attorney General not to investigate, are the Senate and House Intelligence Committees (led by the meek Silvestre Reyes and the even meeker Jay Rockefeller) going to compel answers to these questions? In light of this Op-Ed, do Mitt Romney, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee think the White House should publicly disclose to the country the role Bush and Cheney played in the destruction of this evidence? If there are any reporters left who aren’t traipsing around together in Iowa, it seems pretty clear that this story ought to be dominating the news.

The media are refusing to do their job on this story; they are afraid of it. There should be talk of almost nothing else, that is if the lives of these people counted for anything at all.

Imagine if it had been discovered that evidence was destroyed by FDR’s advisers to hide it from the Commission that investigated Pearl Harbor. There would still be great controversy about it to this day. The escapist excuse of our media is to pretend that the November election will “solve” this problem by changing the personnel in the White House and the Justice Department. It can’t. Everything should stop until the people who did this are held accountable. We’re talking about lying to the Commission created by the President and Congress to investigate the deaths of 3,000 Americans.
