Official "investigation" expelled Senator Cleland, the only Commissioner who asked uncomfortable questions
'As each day goes by, we learn that this government knew a whole lot more about these terrorists before September 11 than it has ever admitted.'"-- Senator Max Cleland, member of the official National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Against the United States
quoted in the New York Times, October 27, 2003"If this decision stands, I, as a member of the commission, cannot look any American in the eye, especially family members of victims, and say the commission had full access. This investigation is now compromised."

New job takes Cleland off 9/11 panelWASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Former Sen. Max Cleland, a Democrat, has been nominated by President Bush to serve on the board of the Export-Import Bank.
As a result he will have to leave the commission investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The statutes governing the panel, formally known as The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, bar anyone who holds a federal job like being on the Ex-Im Board.
Cleland has been one of the more outspoken members of the commission, accusing the administration of delaying access to vital documents in an effort to run out the clock on its investigation. The panel, which started work at the beginning of the year, must submit its report by a congressionally mandated deadline of May 27, 2004.
Commission spokesman Al Felzenberg told United Press International that Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle will nominate Cleland's replacement.

[Did Senator Cleland quit because of "an offer he couldn't refuse" or from disgust with the blatant cover-up perpetrated by the Commission?]
Senator Cleland's replacement with Senator Bob Kerrey shows that the one commissioner who dared to nibble around the edge of the scandal was replaced by a PNAC supporting war mongering war criminal (Kerrey participated in massacres of civilians in Vietnam).
It's the "9/11 Warren Commission" (the "Warren Commission" was the official investigation and cover-up of the coup d'etat against President Kennedy in Dallas).

Excerpt:
McLarty and Bowles, Clinton's current chief of staff, made the phone calls in an effort to find work out of concern for Hubbell, White House spokesman Lanny J. Davis said. McLarty called Arkansan Truman Arnold, who hired Hubbell for unspecified duties and prevailed on others to hire him.
"He may have communicated to the president and the first lady that Truman was going to hire the guy," said one White House aide.

According to 9/11 Family Member Bob McIlvaine, Ben-Veniste told him that the 9/11 Commission was "not an investigation but merely an exposition." Knowing that, and not making the public aware of it, or not attempting to report it to the media, and not resigning his position in protest, is criminal as far as I'm concerned. 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland spoke up. If Richard Ben-Veniste wanted any credibility, he would have done the same.

So, Ben-Veniste has ties to people he is supposed to be investigating. So when you are talking, in this case, about the owner of the "terror flight school" you are talking about a person that anyone might naturally consider a possible suspect.
