It is my belief that this information needs to be shouted from the rooftops, even now. It never did make the mainstream press that I am aware of.....it hurts to think that al gore and others on that commission were so willing to forsake safety for money and to minimize implementation of new regulations for the airlines. It is a crime that a memo about how to 'work over' (my words) Ms. Cummock, the one dissenting vote on the commission, that al gore lied about the report being unanimous and that NOTHING WAS DONE as NO TIMETABLE was ever mandated. This remains a crime. It is really NOT about hindsight, it is about NEGLECT and failure to protect passengers, about shaking down companies in return for looking the other way and PRETENDING something was done and it is about al gore's willingness to go along to get along. No WONDER clinton chose him as his VP, he knew al gore walked the steps of an unprincipled, unethical man. A man clinton knew wanted the WH maybe even more than he had, and a man who would be willing do to ANYTHING for money (not just the airline payoff, but chinagate, etc.) Just like billy dale was all you ever really needed to know about how low the clintons were willing to go to get their way, al gore's treatment of his renter back on the multi-million dollar family farm in Tennessee is all ya ever need to know about al gore. These are FILTHY people.
