Bush to name impartial commission
Today, from CNN Online (Bush announces intelligence panel):
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rejecting criticism from some Democrats, the Bush administration on Friday said the new intelligence commission it is forming could objectively assess pre-Iraq war intelligence, even though President Bush has the sole authority to name its members.
Yeah right.
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan is later quoted in the article saying the members of the commission will be "highly qualified individuals with integrity who have a lot of experience that they bring to the table."
That's all well and good, but that doesn't negate the fact that the man selecting them believes without doubt that the war in Iraq was justified. Do you really think he'd pick people that don't think the same thing to begin with?
