Letter: Bush may target 9-11 commission
Thursday, June 24, 2004 | 9:07 a.m.
Members of the 9-11 commission had better brace themselves. This administration has performed character assassinations on Richard Clarke and Paul O'Neill for saying that the emperor had no clothes.
Some in the administration endangered the life of Valerie Plame when her husband spoke out against their war. And they did nothing to stop George Tenet from taking most of the heat over the ill-fated invasion. Now the 9-11 commission has the audacity to state the obvious -- there is no connection between Iraq and the terrorism events of 2001. The members had better prepare themselves for vicious attacks on their character, reputation and loved ones.
It's the only way the Bush camp knows how to fight.
