<p>Philip Zelikow, the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, communicated secretly with White House political strategist Karl Rove and other Bush administration officials, reports independent scholar Max Holland, citing an audio version of a forthcoming book by a New York Times reporter.</p>
<p>On his Web site, Washington Decoded, Holland reports that Philip Shenon, who led the Times coverage of the Commission, has written a <a href="http://www.washingtondecoded.com/site/2008/01/commission-conf.html">“blistering account”</a> of Zelikow’s role overseeing the 20-month investigation.</p>
<blockquote>He depicts Zelikow as exploiting his central position to negate or neutralize criticism of the Bush administration so that the White House would not bear, in November 2004, the political burden of failing to prevent the attacks.</blockquote>
<p>Holland, known for his spirited defense of the Warren Commission whose conclusions about the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy are widely disputed, says the 9/11 Commission’s veracity is now open to question.</p>
<blockquote>Shenon’s radically different account of the commission’s inner workings promises to achieve what none of the crackpot conspiracy theorists have managed to do so far: put the 9/11 Commission in disrepute.</blockquote>
<p>Shenon’s book, The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation, will be published on Feb. 5 by Twelve Books.</p>

For the best overview on the Sibel Edmonds penetration and expose of the Neocon war and lie machine – watch this fascinating movie below. Edmond’s report to the 911 Commission and their awareness of her testimony is a heavy indictment of this group and is well presented in the documentary below

Of course Rove "vetted" the 9/11 Commission’s report. Why else would Bush have finally given in to the demand for a "commission" in the first place. When the truth about 9/11 finally comes out in about 40 or 50 years, we’ll all be dead and gone and the real culprits will be dead and gone and what possible difference will it make then. America will be dead and gone. Our grandchildren will hate us with a vengeance for being spineless and weak. Too weak to speak truth to power.
