Whitewash

Tony Karon and John Dean have both come to the appropriate conclusion about the Bush appointed commission to investigate the Iraq intel scandal: it's besides the point.

Karon charges that the decision to invade Iraq was made within the White House, not within the confines of Langley, so any investigation that focuses on the latter will be searching for red herrings. Likewise, Dean notes that the principal focus of any relevant investigation should be on the Office of Special Plans, and yet it is not within the sights of this commission.
