The Cellar - View Single Post - US administration restricts Nov11 investigations

Xugumad · 02-23-2002, 11:37 PM

The Bush administration is trying to limit how much the government's response to the Sep11 attacks is investigated.

Specifically, the administration is trying to ensure that only investigations producing secret results are being undertaken. The two committees that the administration is favouring would not be able to release their findings to the public.

Some might argue that national security is too important, thus keeping secret why intelligence failures allowed the Sep11 attacks to happen. Others would claim that those failures would be covered up forever, the incompetency of the incumbents remaining unrevealed.

What do you think?

X.

PS: In (related?) news, the US is now considering using nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states, abandoning a 24-year old policy.
