Col., not to diminish your prophecy one iota, you were absolutely spot-on, but I think it was obvious from the get-go that the intended purpose of the 9/11 Commission was not the stated purpose. In all fairness, it is probably true that a minority number of the commission members and their immediate staffs had a high sense of purpose and mission and totally bought into the mission statement. However, having their mission high jacked must have been one hell of a disappointing experience for those who really cared and were seeking some positive good. I suppose it?s an indelible rule of the human experience that when failure is sought, it is only luck and happenstance that causes failure to be avoided. On the other hand when success is sought, only success oriented actions and mindsets light the path and even then, hungry wolves of failure are never more than a hot breath away and ready to pounce and feast.

And so it was with the 9/11 Commission, doomed to failure before the opening gavel smacked the desk by severe conflicts of interest, skullduggery and later by illegal acts and ill-mannered and rude interrogators driving an unadvertised but real mission statement. The only betrayed ones are those who kept the faith and actually thought that the majority of the 9/11 Commission gave a fig about security or what all the circumstances were, or tried to formulate an objective lessons learned mindset. Didn?t happen, and as things press forth we will most likely learn how horribly compromised and pre-loaded that Commission was from it?s very inception.
