911-Commission

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

On September 20th 2002, a few weeks after the new 911 hearings (->) started, President Bush said, he would finally support establishing an independent commission to investigate the September 11 terrorist attacks. His decision was described in the US Media as a "reversing course". He later signed a commission bill. cryptome.org/bush-kissoff.htm The families of 9/11 Victims (->) protested on many different members of this commission. Some of them wanted an independent commission. Others just suggested Warren Rudman (->) on this Panel: Friday, 6 December, 2002

"...Families of September 11 victims fear that the White House will block their effort to get former Sen. Warren Rudman of New Hampshire on the new commission investigating the attacks. They consider Rudman the only well-qualified Republican sufficiently independent of his party and the White House to do a thorough job on the commission, Stephen Push (->) , a spokesman for the families, said Friday. At issue is whether this commission is going to have any teeth, he said. Having one independent Republican will make all the difference. Push said the families believe Rudman is being blocked because of opposition from the White House. For some reason the administration has been fighting this (the commission) ... from day one. I assume they're worried about criticism they didn't heed those earlier warnings of an attack, he said..."

While Watch Groups like Judicialwatch.Org or 911pi.Com (who started to organise an own citizens commission since mid 2002) and even the 9/11-victim groups (->) still protested a US-Gov controlled 911-commission and demanded an independent commission, the official committee ignored their opinions and added controversial people like John Lehman or Tom Kean (->) with his Bin Laden connections to the 9-11 panel.
