[Peace-discuss] Thatchell story

Sun Sep 23 15:22:03 CDT 2007

The 911 Commission was a farce from the beginning.  Under any honest assessment, the 911 Commission 
cannot be considered objective.  The commission was tightly controlled by Thomas Kean and Lee 
Hamilton, a key Republican politician and a veteran retired Congressman with strong connections to the 
military-industrial complex.  The executive director of research Phillip Zelikow was a committed neocon 
with close ties to Condi Rice personally and professionally.  He had led the Bush inaugural transition team 
after the 2000 "election."  He also authored the 2002 National Security Strategy outlining the doctrine of 
pre-emptive war.  Zelikow's research team had a clear conflict of interest and together with its leaders 
prevented all information damaging to the information from coming to light.  Hence, absolutely no 
discussion in the final report about the collapse of WTC 7.
