I'm no fan of the infamous 9-10 Commission, but it looks increasingly clear that they are not quite as bad as what gets reported. The commissioners are hucksters, retreads, grifters and catamites, but they are in no way as vile as the blatantly lying Lord Haw-Haws who go on TV news and prevaricate during the dinner hour.

The commission leaked the offending paragraph to the media. This started the ball rolling before anyone had a chance to put the report in context.

If you have any respect for the 9/11 circus, I have a nice bridge to sell you.

We know Saddam worked with the PLO and other terrorists, he funded them. He at LEAST knew that 9/11 was coming.

Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)

In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”

The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.

And as you know, the report found, quote, "No credible evidence that al-Qaida collaborated with Iraq or Saddam Hussein.

Well, the Commission did say there was "no credible evidence" and that's what's being put out there for the puplic. It doesn't matter if there was more to the report because that one blurb is the direction the media wants to play it.

Vice President Cheney really unloaded on the duplicity of the New York Times

He was gentle. I'd like Cheney to say, "Look, the NYT prints a lot of lies. When pressed, they usually claim that they made an error -- but that's another lie. They print lies on purpose. It's deliberate. They have an agenda and that agenda involves weakening this administration. So they lie. Now, let me dissect this lie, so you can see what I mean ..."

PRESIDENT BUSH: The reason I keep insisting that there was a relationship between Iraq and Saddam and al Qaeda, because there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda. This administration never said that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated between Saddam and al Qaeda. We did say there were numerous contacts between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.

This is so complicated and deep that no liberal will ever get it. If tree frogs could talk they might get an explanation they could understand.

You can judge if they are as bad by reading their reports. But first, read this. It will also give a link to the actual reports.
