My First Post
I'd like my first post in this space (other than my brilliant "TEST" post) to be a new revelation in the investigation into the most horrible day of my (and many other's) lifetime.
The head of the independent 9-11 Commission (which our President fought tooth-and-nail to keep from forming) former NJ Governor Thomas Kean (a Republican!) is pointing fingers in and around the Bush Administration for failing to prevent the 9-11 attacks.

(CBS) For the first time, the chairman of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is saying publicly that 9/11 could have and should have been prevented, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston.
"This is a very, very important part of history and we've got to tell it right," said Thomas Kean.
"As you read the report, you're going to have a pretty clear idea what wasn't done and what should have been done," he said. "This was not something that had to happen."
Appointed by the Bush administration, Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, is now pointing fingers inside the administration and laying blame.
"There are people that, if I was doing the job, would certainly not be in the position they were in at that time because they failed. They simply failed," Kean said.
Remember this the next time someone tells you that the GOP is the only party that can keep our nation safe...
