The September 11 commission falsely singled out The Washington Times for damaging an intelligence operation by disclosing in 1998 that Osama bin Laden used a satellite phone, even though his means of communication had been widely reported beforehand, including by CNN, CBS and Time.
This commission has been virtually fatally flawed from its inception. From the very beginning, the presence of Jamie Gore-lick on the commission raises severe questions of conflict of interest, since she was involved in formulating policies that hampered and insulated the essential flow of intelligence information, among other things. She should have been testifying before the commission, not sitting on it.
The slant of the commission was also demonstrated by their continuing neglect of the Able Danger findings, and their attempt to quash any detailed exposure of that situation.
Finally there is this effort to blame a critical media outlet for a disclosure that was made first in liberal MSM outlets.
No shame there at all – and this is supposed to be a credible body?
