This video clip examines troubling issues related to the 9/11 Commission, including conflicts of interest and questionable methods used by those conducting the investigation.
Following is a summary and partial transcript:
Henry Kissinger was initially placed in charge of the 9/11 Commission report investigation, and was forced to step down due to conflicts of interests, including having members of the Bin Laden Family as personal clients. Kissinger was soon replaced by Thomas Keane, a former New Jersey Governor. The remainder of the eight positions were filled by former Washington DC insiders and lawyers, evenly split between Republicans and Democrats.
Bob McIlvaine, who lost his son in the attacks: “They allocated 100 Million Dollars to the Clinton sexual exploits, and they first allocated only three million dollars to the murder of three thousand People!”
Narrator: “To monitor the Commission, leading victim relatives established The Family Steering Committee. The group supplied the Commission with hundreds of questions for which they expected answers.”
From the outset, many family members were concerned with how the investigation was being conducted. People initially were not put under oath, even though the family members specifically requested it. The questions the family members had created were not asked.
It was then uncovered that Phillip Zelikow, the Director of the 9/11 Commission had many conflicts of interests in relation to the Bush Administration, and when asked by the families to resign, he refused to step down.
Senator Max Cleveland who served on the 9/11 Commission: “..The President has said that only a minority of the Commission can see a minority of the Documents, and then they have to clear what they are going to say to the rest of the Commission with the White House. .. It’s a scam, it’s absolutely disgusting, this is important, we cannot do our responsibilities if we don’t all of us have access to all the documents we need, including what’s in the White House.”
The only two Commission members allowed direct access to the documents were Jamie Gorlic, the Deputy Attorney General under President Clinton, and Phillip Zelikow.
With the investigation nearing it’s deadline, the President, Vice President, and National Security Advisor were still refusing to publicly testify, yet few Americans were aware of such disturbing issues until the CBS News Show “60 Minutes” covered the story, which forced the Bush Administration to have key officials testify and meet with the Commission. George Bush and Dick Cheney then agreed to meet with the Commission, but insisted on meeting together, behind closed doors, and not under oath.
