More than a few dead Soviet leaders are smiling in their graves. This is disgusting.
There is no evidence that senior Pentagon commanders intentionally provided false testimony to about the military's actions on the morning of the September 11 attacks, according to a report by the Defense Department's watchdog agency cited in the New York Times on Saturday.Let's all thank Thomas Kean, Lee Hamilton and the rest of the 9/11 Commission for not taking a public stand against the Pentagon's lying when it really mattered, before their final report came out. Is there any surprise that the same Pentagon that sold us WMD and "Iraq is going swell!" is now lying about, well, lying?
The Pentagon's office of inspector general said the Defense Department's initial inaccurate accounts could be attributed largely to poor record-keeping, the newspaper said in an article on its Web site, citing the newly released report.
Seriously, Kean and Hamilton failed us all. They need to do a lot more than write a book (see upcoming post) to atone for the travesty they tacitly sanctioned.
