9/11 Panel Scolds Ex-Police, Fire Chiefs

Who is the 9/11 panel not scolding these days? Oh yeah, that’s right…celebrities and ex-politicians that have poll ratings high enough for them to get flak if they give them a hard time. It seems like more and more of what goes on in Congress (especially the Senate) is done knowing that the cameras are on and it is being broadcast. I want to see if they do all of this grand-standing and posturing behind closed doors where there are no cameras.

It looks like Congress has some sort of ’superhero complex’ where they love to swoop down and save the public from some mess that ‘another group’ has gotten us into. They love to investigate/dictate/criticize those things which they have no ties to. What’s frustrating about this 9/11 panel is that they are not any less responsible than the folks they march in before the committee and cameras. Who questions Congress? Who asks them the tough questions? Who are they accountable to?
