Proposed Truth Commission and 9/11

[jose v]

During a February 9 speech at Georgetown University, Senate Judiciary Chairman, Senator Patrick Leahy proposed the creation of a Truth Commission to explore wrongdoing during the recent Bush administration. The Truth Commission would focus on getting to the truth on a number of areas where Bush administration figures broke the law. A Truth Commission has the potential to reveal much about the secret workings of the Bush administration. Significantly, it will encourage many former officials, in exchange for amnesty, to testify about all they know and did. Many illegal activities can be revealed. This will very significant for those interested in learning more about the misuse of intelligence data to justify the Iraq war and what really happened on September 11, 2001.
Commenting on the goal of finding out what really happened during the Bush administration, Leahy said:

One path to that goal would be a reconciliation process and truth commission. We could develop and authorize a person or group of people universally recognized as fair minded, and without axes to grind. Their straightforward mission would be to find the truth. People would be invited to come forward and share their knowledge and experiences, not for purposes of constructing criminal indictments, but to assemble the facts.
Leahy’s proposal is a compromise between those wanting the new Attorney General, Eric Holder, to investigate and prosecute wrong doing during the Bush administration, and those not wanting Holder to investigate former administration personnel. If a Truth Commission goes ahead, then former Bush administration officials are given amnesty to testify about all they knew and did without fear of prosecution. While this will allow the truth to emerge, it also gives wrong doers an escape strategy from potential prosecution. This will upset some.
