[Overpaid Slacker]

David, I don't think Island was "twisting" definitions, he was employing them. There's too much of using words loosely to imply something that's incorrect.

This Commission has become a disgrace and a fiasco -- including a commisioner responsible in large part for the Chinese Wall between intelligence agencies that was indisputably responsible for the intelligence failures under Clinton and (to a lesser extent) Bush sitting on the panel!

B/c it's become such a media circus, if the President is going to respond to questions, it's best that it be behind closed doors -- to prevent grandstanding and "gotcha" bull***** from commissioners and let them get down to real questions.

As for Bush and Cheney simultaneously, why not? Why take the time of the two most powerful people in the world on two separate occasions?
