Not that Tom Kean would know anything about terrorism besides the fact that he co-chaired the 9/11 Commission:
Thomas Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey who led the bipartisan probe of the Sept. 11 attacks, said the deal was a big mistake because of past connections between the 2001 hijackers and the UAE.Do you think anyone in the White House read the 9/11 Commission Report? I'm just asking.
"It shouldn't have happened, it never should have happened," Kean said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
The quicker the Bush administration can get out of the deal, the better, he said. "There's no question that two of the 9/11 hijackers came from there and money was laundered through there," Kean said.
Almost surreal that Bush views UAE as his pals, but they laundered Al Qaeda money. It's good to be a friend of W.
