Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure all GWB did was pick the co-chairs.  The Senate majority (trent Lott at the time) and minority leader (Tom Daschle) picked the rest of the panel.

Just watched some replays on the news of  Rices appearance today.  Kerrey sure comes off looking foolish, and the talking heads on the news channel were just short of aghast at his behavior, his attempt to bully her and his obvious playing to the crowd.

As they pointed out, she was under oath, was at risk of perjury, and had both a right and an obligation to fully answer each and every question put to her.  They tried to deny her this right, but failed.  I think she came out looking better, more professional and they came out looking like partisan self-serving turds.  

Sure they were appointed by Bush. Bush did the decent thing in establishing a BiPartisan committee. They were given their chance to serve the country, instead they seemed to choose to serve themselves and their possible future political and financial interests.

Sad day for those foolish handsomehunkocrats, better day for the Adminstration thanks to them.

You think this whole thing is a sham? You think the US media would let him get away with putting all republicans or his supporters on it? When they anouced who was on the panel, most of the new agencies were suprised at how even handed and balanced it was not just all his lapdogs.


Ok, thanks for infos (was just checking local news source).

I did a re-check on the commission memebers and the only people Bush Appointed were the two commissioners, Trent Lott and Tom Daschel picked the individual members.
