Squashing 9/11 Investigation

It was the greatest act of terrorism on American soil. Remember it? Ya know, that thing that was invoked countless times to justify this war on Iraq. Well, according to Time, the Bush White House has been dragging its feet on funding the panel created to investigate the 9/11 attacks.

"They've never wanted the commission and I feel the White House has always been looking for a way to kill it without having their finger on the murder weapon," says Stephen Push, a leader of the 9/11 victims' families, who has been monitoring the commission.

A cynic might be tempted to think that the administration has something to hide. Indeed, we might again wish to ask, what did Bush know?
