A 9/11 COVER UP?
THE WHITE House doesn't want to give the commission investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks the 60 more days that it says it needs to finish its report.

Republicans are worried that a two-month extension would inject - shudder - politics into the Sept. 11 tragedy. The report would be released in July, in the middle of the presidential campaign.

As a shocked, but unidentified Republican congressional aide told the New York Times, "The Democrats will spin and spin."

Excuse us?<snip>

1. a two-month extension would inject politics into the Sept. 11 tragedy
As opposed to moving the Repug convention to NY and ground zero, and out of the accepted date range so it crowds up on S-11? No shame, you simply must possess no shame to be a Republican or to even support one.

3. God forbid the truth come out during * re-selection campaign!
They are no good SOB's. They call themselves patriots and wrap themselves in the flag yet play politics with one of the worst attacks on American soil in decades. What is the most shocking to me is that they don't even attempt to hide it anymore. Stonewalling is common place for this administration and just isn't a big deal anymore.

2. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.
Who let the dogs out?

The "Bush White House proceeded to stonewall, not turning over documents until subpoenaed.

But why? Do they know something about the runup to Sept. 11 that we don't know?

It's already clear that the commission has found evidence to suggest that the terrorist attacks were not inevitable. Members of Congress who oppose extending the deadline need to explain why they don't want the whole story.

Otherwise, you won't need Democrats to spin and spin the fact that the administration has something to hide, something big."

5. spin and politics are GOP foundations
it is entirely how they have built there 'empire'. With propaganda and recruiters out there spewing incorrect information as fact, and then they try and frame the argument with the lie that the dems are the only group who politicizes or spins.

The media really ought to call them out on that. :grr:
