Mideast Senate Debate Commentary Thread

Im curious to see what the Whigs do in this race- work to elect a dangerous Truther extremist or throw one of their own under the proverbial bus.

Quelle hypocrisie.

Regarding the 9/11 commission, its final report famously had 28 entire pages redacted, believed to be regarding contact between the 9/11 hijackers and the Saudi government, as reported by Senator Bob Graham.  The chair, Philip Zelikow, rather than being objective, had close ties with the Bush administration and frequently attempted to edit the report to conform with the Bush agenda (including attempting to create a link in the report between Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, to justify the impending invasion of Iraq).  While a new investigation may or may not be necessary, the report is clearly a flawed document that must be reassessed and revised.  Saying that doesn't make you a "truther" any more than Bob Graham is.
