The cover up widens

Apparently the 9/11 Commission put together to analyze what went wrong on that infamous day (and what led us to it) in order to avoid making the same mistakes again and to fix whatever needed fixing wasn't told the whole story by the Pentagon:
Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.

Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission, hoping to hide the bungled response to the hijackings, these sources said.
Astonishing.

And what is our Congress doing about this? About our military lying to us in order to cover up their mistakes? Nothing. Why? Because one way or another they're all in this together.

That's probably why in the end the Commission gave up on the idea of asking the Justice Department to investigate the matter. They all report to the same guy, what's the point?

This administration is packed with criminals. All of them.
