Heck, they are the only decent politicians left. It just surprises me that it took so long to realize that the 9/11 report was a fake... <p></p><i></i>

In the same way that Katrina is allowing some Dems to excoriate the White House hijackers still busily crashing the US into the planet.<br><br>Gotta have an excuse for telling the truth.<br><br>Although I was disturbed by Kerry's post-Katrina speech at Brown Univ. the other day. It sounded like he was citing Kennedy by way of gearing up to a mandatory 'public service' for youth that would have a military component that Genl. Wesley Clark has been hinting around.<br><br>This is what I'm smelling in the wind... <p></p><i></i>

He offered no other detail on the Pentagon's reasoning in blocking the testimony.<br><br>Senator Arlen Specter, the Pennsylvania Republican who is chairman of the committee, said he was surprised by the Pentagon's decision because "so much of this has already been in the public domain, and I think that the American people need to know what happened here." <br><br>Mr. Specter said in a telephone interview that he intended to go ahead with the hearing on Wednesday and hoped that it "may produce a change of heart by the Department of Defense in answering some very basic questions."<br><br><br>MORE<br> <p></p><i></i>
