The latest piece from Arianna Huffington shows just how far the USA has declined:
The first of nine investigations into the failures that led to Pearl Harbor convened 11 days after that attack. And LBJ created the Warren Commission seven days after President Kennedy was assassinated.
But a full, public, and unbiased accounting is the last thing the White House and its Congressional allies want...
It took 14 months -- and a candlelight vigil outside the White House by the 9/11 families -- before Bush finally relented and the 9/11 Commission was created. Is that kind of public shaming what it’s going to take to get to the truth about Katrina? If so, let’s not wait 14 months to have the families of Katrina’s victims gather outside the White House demanding answers.
There is too much at stake to let Bush and the GOP Congress play politics with our lives.
