More or less I'd agree that we need to progress. There is a saying that far too often people "Look backwards when moving forwards" and that can hinder or even stop progress from occuring. However, on the flip side, in order to understand where we are going, we must understand our past as well. This may sound cryptic, but I don't think 9/11 will be the last major terrorist attack America sees. We witnessed it in Spain, it's almost impossible to completely defeat terrorism, no matter what Bush says, (Anyone else catch his press conference?).

I think part of that statement came because Republicans may be on their heels, but perhaps it was a sincere attempt at sanity. I don't know much of this Senator, so I cannot say what his intentions are. I'll go on the assumption that he really just wants to make America safe and isn't just trying to help his party.

Still, I do think America and the world should know as much about what happened as possible. What we don't need is another JFK, where speculation never dies and theories are always debated. An actual clear answer for a change would be great. However, if this commission just boils down to party bickering, I will begin to grow tired of it myself. We want truth, not a winner and loser. I could care less of the Democrats or Republicans look good or bad due to this. I'd rather know that the government is capable, who ever is in power. I've grown very uncomfortable with the current Administration's flippant way of telling the truth, so if this Commission finally lays the law down and makes them tell the truth, then I'd say its served its purpose.

Take care all.
