Just As I Thought

Out of commission

It’s unlikely that I’ll comment on tomorrow’s report from the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States… mostly because I’ve made enough comments already.
Today, NPR aired a special report on the Commission’s work, which was excellent. It was helpful to remember what’s come before, as the media — and by extension, the public — tend to forget things that happened only recently, such as the White House’s opposition to a commission; the good old Presidential Daily Briefing warning about bin Laden; Commission member Richard Ben-Veniste posing questions to elicit a damning response then not letting Condoleeza Rice finish her answer, and all those other things that are good for a chuckle or two.
Listen to it online.
