Lies, lies and more lies

After seeing the GOP parade their officials out on Thursday in an effort to divert attention from the 9/11 commission report one has to wonder if they believe what they are saying or do they know they are lying and don't care.

GOP officials said the the investigation of Samuel R. Berger regarding missing document raised questions about whether Berger was trying to keep information from the 9/11 commission. That was flatly denied by both Berger and one of the commission members, who called the charge ''ridiculous."

"Berger's allies rallied behind him, questioning whether the Bush administration leaked news of the 10-month-old probe to deflect attention just days before the commission is set to publish its findings from its inquiry into the suicide jet attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."

''None of our work is affected in any way," said the panel member, who spoke on condition of anonymity. ''We have many copies of it. He did not have access to anything that wasn't in duplicate. It can't have been to deprive us of information."
