From: "Mark" 

This sentiment from the counterterrorism blog seems to mirror my point and
yours Rich, because I believe both you and I want the truth rather than a
bunch of BS:

http://counterterrorismblog.org/2006/09/911_commission_members_should.php
"SO FOR GOD'S SAKE, let's not turn this NIE into another partisan
political battle over intelligence. The American people deserve to know, to
the maximum extent possible, the actual findings and conclusions in this
NIE and not depend on partial reports and leaks, which could be driven by
all sorts of hidden agendas."

I'm not so sure I want a resurrection of the 9/11 commission, that he calls
for in his piece though, to investigate.
