Philip Shenon: Inside the 911 Investigation Commission

New York Times reporter Philip Shenon talks about his book detailing the inner workings of the Commission to Investigate 9/11, how Philip Zelikow, the Commission's Executive Director, ran the Commission with an iron hand, walking into the job already with a prepared outline, hiring all the attorneys, telling them who to question, editing their reports, instructing his secretary to stop logging his many phone calls from Karl Rove, choosing who to write the final report and editing that, while Governor Kean and Lee Hamilton pretended to be in charge. The result: important testimony left out, important witnesses not questioned, a cover-up of a government orchestrated false flag operation, in Zelikow's own words: "maintenance of public myth."

John McCain a 'good guy' demanding 'truth' re: 911? IMO, McCain's angle is likely a crafted false opposition recognizing how unacceptable and terribly flawed the previous 3 investigations were, and that unless a concession was made to address the public demand for a more cohesive, thorough study Bush/GOP/Washington bloc credibility would always be compromised. NIST report was designed to make the official theory acceptable, ie. Terrorists did it. It completely covered-up evidence of demolition.

Its about time that media woke up... They have stolen our futures and wrote their own history... We need a real investigation... not the sham that they made..

Recommended viewing is IWantDemocracyNow 4-part interviews by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez of Phillip Shenon and Philip Zelikow. Zelikow does deny several of Shenon's points but Shenon seems the more believable.
