83. No, sadly

Democratic members were appointed by Daschle. That's what gives the commission the sheen of "bipartisanship." But, when our side makes tepid appointments like Mitchell (read Mitchell's Men of Zeal for his self-congratulatory thoughts on averting a "contitutional crisis" in Iran-Contra), only to replace him with Lee Hamilton, who got rolled by none other than Dick Cheney in IC, then you can be assured that interests other than those of the neocons have been hobbled -- by us.

(Note that Repubs weren't at all bashful about nominating KISSINGER, for God's sake, to the panel)
