Who to Trust on a Truth Commission?

Who to Trust on a Truth Commission?

While a truth commission to examine the crimes of the Bush administration has a certain appeal – especially if there’s not going to be a tough special prosecutor bringing criminal charges – there still would be the issue of who could fill the job of getting at the truth.

That's because over the past three decades, the Washington media/political establishment has shown itself stunningly inept at conducting serious inquiries that can penetrate even the most implausible cover stories if a probe’s target has influential friends in high places.

Instead, investigations into difficult questions have usually settled for politically convenient half-answers, especially when the Democratic love of bipartisanship confronts Republican anger over holding accountable someone like Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Dick Cheney or George W. Bush.

The key staffing problem is that pretty much all the Wise Men and Wise Women of Washington have seen their reputations thrive in the hot house of intellectual corruption that has dominated the capital for the last 30 years -- and thus they are hopelessly compromised.

That is all.

:cry: and :mad:

too bad for us... we believed then that a Democratic president would side with the people.

BCCI report released in Dec1992 should have put all those thugs in jail and their fascism exposed for all time.

Because we can't trust anything in the USA after the Bush Junta corrupted American Justice. Everyone will just treat it like a cover-up.
