Privacy, Property, and the 9/11 commision

It's all over the radio today that the 9/11 commision ignored evidence that information gathered by a secret military group was never relayed to appropriate "law enforement" groups. Now WND had an article on it.

Of course Rush Limbaugh has opined on it, declaring it yet another example of Clinton era cover ups. Since Jamie Gorelick, Clinton era deputy attorny general who wrote the memo forbiding contact between the military, cia, and "law enforcement agencies" was on the commission.

This is almost all old news, since everbody knew that Gorelick was the author while the commission was in session. The new piece of evidence is that instead of an abstract "maybe there was something..." we now have a "there was information that could have..."

So what. Rebublicans have held a majority in the congress, the president is a Republican, and what did they do? Nothing. Only one congressman; Kurt Weldon of PA has done anything about this. A little late I think. So why the institutional coverup?

With rare exceptions, members of congress in either party are not there to set you free but to tell you what is good for you. (With a paternalistic attitude that would make any liberal proud) The recomendations of the commission did nothing to advance freedom, but used their "findings" as an excuse to recomend the denial of even more libety. For your own good of course.

If you want to do the Lord's work; don't expect to find satisfaction in the voting booth.
