Calling you out

Wow.

The chair and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission are going public (in the NY Times Op-Ed) with an obvious truth:

Those who knew about [the now-destroyed CIA interrogation] videotapes — and did not tell us about them — obstructed our investigation.

There could have been absolutely no doubt in the mind of anyone at the C.I.A. — or the White House — of the commission’s interest in any and all information related to Qaeda detainees involved in the 9/11 plot. Yet no one in the administration ever told the commission of the existence of videotapes of detainee interrogations.

Can't get any clearer than that.

I can practically hear the beltway punditry opining how the American People (whom they've presumably never met) "are tired of these scandal investigations." How we should "move on" and "get to work on the important issues."

For my money, it's hard to get to an issue that is more important than an executive that is flouting the law and refusing all inquiries about their conduct.

Read the Op Ed.

Let the hearings commence.
