Can you refresh my memory on this? Why was Clinton able to put people on the 9-11 commission?

Weanie Pubbie compromise. Senate Majority Leader (and I am not sure whether the formation of the commission was under Lott or Frist) compromised with then Dem Leader Daschle to put equal numbers (Dem and Pubbie representation) on the commission -- for fair and balanced, of course.

Daschle got to choose half the commission. Supposition: who actually was the power behind the Dems? Clinton. Why did Clinton's former personal attorney (Ben Venista) end up on the commission? Why did Clinton's former Deputy Atty General also end up on the commission? [How thick do we need to draw the lines before we see the dots connecting?]

Thanks for the info.

And I agree that there's no doubt about why Gorelick and Ben Venista ended up on the commission.

Next, I'd like to know why Gorelick and Burglar aren't in jail.
