Cincinnati Post Editorial: "An independent commission"
Kudos to the Post for endorsing a blue ribbon probe of the 9/11 failures. I also am glad to read their assessment of a problem few in the media seem to want to address: "As the Bush White House is prone to do, it has suddenly reversed itself." Bush also did this on the issues of nation building, Middle East engagement, U.N. engagement, and international military intervention. Far too often, the media have been letting Bush change his mind on the fly, offering no criticism of why the changes occur. Instead some in the media (FOXNews) attack Al Gore for a thoughtful speech, instead of finding the clear omissions, diversions, and contradictions in Bush public comments. Bush continues to get a virtual Pass from the mainstream media outlets, and gets clear support from outlets like FOXNews.
