Reports in USA, Britain and Australia ALL SUCK

Reactions to 9/11 report

'The commission decided unanimity was more important than controversy. They did a very workmanlike Washington report.'

- Richard Clarke, former White House security expert

"The report being released today by this so-called independent commission cannot possibly be deemed definitive or authoritative as an account for the events of 11 September - not by any stretch of the imagination."

- Kyle Hence, 9/11 Citizens Watch

Meanwhile in Australia, Andrew Wilkie, the senior analyst with the Office of National Assessment who quit in March last year and went to the media, claiming intelligence on Iraq's WMD programs did not justify going to war, said:

"Sooner or later someone has got to stand up in this country and admit they got it wrong, starting with the prime minister and the foreign minister and sooner or later we have got to say yeah there was a serious intelligence failure... Mr Flood is a decent man but he is a stakeholder as a former head of one of the intelligence agencies. His terms of reference were much too narrow. The much more important thing to look at now is the government's relationship with the agencies."

As for the Butler and Hutton reports in the UK... what a load of rubbish!
