Bush announces that yes, there will be an independent commission to investigate what happened with 9/11.

There must be a catch, right?

Well... yes.

The head of the investigation, as chosen by Dubya, is none other than Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. My word, what are the implications of this?

1) We get to hear that voice again.
2) Hold the phone. Kissinger is the godfather of the type of foreign policy that created Osama Bin Laden in the first place. (not to mention our sale of arms to Iran) From his ascent on, tens of thousands of innocent people have been killed in our lovely regime replacements all over the world, in Chile, El Salvador, southwest Africa, Nicaragua, etc. Need we mention the bombings of Cambodia and Laos? (Kudos to Hitchens for putting his Bush-suckup tendencies on hold to criticize the Kissinger. After all, he wrote a whole book on the guy.)
thus,
3) We are not likely to get any real answers out of this. What else could we expect with the fascists in complete power?

Will we find out that Dubya stayed up late drinking the night before he got that August 6 memo? We'll probably neer know...

UPDATE... David Corn over at The Nation gives us a refresher on all the lovely things on Kissinger's resume. Summed up,

Asking Henry Kissinger to investigate government malfeasance or nonfeasance is akin to asking Slobodan Milosevic to investigate war crimes.

Well, the Bushies just got rid of Harvey Pitt, it had to even out didn't it? Oy vey.
