This seems like such a "set-up" to me. With the "good" Democrats in power, people can now relax, and not be so pissed off. With the "good" Democrats in power, they can pass the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, and lend "credibility" to them. Making it seem like something is being done, when in fact the only thing being done is the destruction of our civil liberties.

It's ok. The "good" Democrats will turn this country around... a full 360 degree turn.

We need to hit up the left with all the ways that the 9/11 Commission has been discredited, and the dissatisfaction that the families have with it. We need to push this loud and hard from now until January. Hit up the left gate keepers once again. Why should we implement recommendations when the report didn't have all the facts? War drills lies. Mineta's testimony. ISI money connection to Atta. Zelikow's obvious partiality, etc. Now is the time to push Press for Truth to all the left gatekeepers. We need to break Press for truth into mainstream media, somehow.

while we're going to have to wait and see if Dem leadership will step up to the 9/11 plate, there are some House democrats who understand the stakes. Here's Rep. Dennis Kucinich (who I proudly voted for in 2004 primary) just last week...

Rep. Dennis Kucinich: Looking Past One-Party Rule

Posted on Oct 30, 2006

By Rep. Dennis Kucinich

Editor’s note: In advance of the election, Republicans painted Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) as the specter of a Democrat-controlled House. In this piece for Truthdig (originally posted on 10/30), Kucinich responds to the attack, and gives the American people a preview of what’s to come.

The Founders envisioned and created a national government with an intricate series of checks and balances. One-party rule has demolished that system. It has led to a government which has abused the war power, corrupted the Bill of Rights, established a national security state, and sharply accelerated upwards the wealth of the nation.

Under these circumstances, the American people, fed up with an illegal and untenable war, are demanding accountability and a true restoration of the two-party system. The 2006 elections will reflect the American people’s desire for a new start and a new direction. The desire for change is palpable. Few are more aware of this shift than the operatives of the Republican National Committee, who, in this election season, have attempted to make a new art form of the political smear.

A few days ago the RNC singled me out for obloquy. Let us consider the source. The tenor of their fear-driven attack is a measure of their anxiety-ridden anticipation: They have been institutionally and constitutionally incapable of publicly (and legally) accounting for their conduct of state.

I will not prejudice with any criticism or charges any oversight hearings of any committee I may chair in the next Congress. However, I do know that the American people still have unanswered questions about 9/11, WMDs, the abandonment of international law and the Geneva Conventions, the war in Iraq, the White House Iraq Group, the Rendon propaganda machine, Afghanistan, Abu Graib, Guantanamo, the Pat Tillman case, Iraq war casualties, the missing $10.8 billion in Iraq reconstruction funds, the human and economic toll of the war, rendition, wiretapping, domestic spying, and plans for an attack on Iran.

I do know that the American people cannot believe what has happened to this country in the past six years. I do know that the American people are demanding accountability.

And, in whatever capacity I serve in the next Congress, I will uphold the solemn oath I take to defend the Constitution of the United States, without regard to fear or favor.
