HOW ABOUT A REAL INVESTIGATION AND NOT JUST A LIST OF THINGS TO BE DONE?

The 9/11 commission spent millions of American taxpayers' dollars to attain nothing more than a roster of things which they recommended be done to prevent another dissaster.
I have to ask; is this what you call an investigation? As a forensics' enthusiast, I think the people have been ripped-off by the Republicans and the administration big and expensive propaganda scheme.
Just as the Warren Commission left us high and dry as to what really went down during the Kennedy assassination, the 9-11 Commission failed to find the causes of the failure to prevent the attacks. Perhaps that's why a large majority of Americans believe that the government had an active role in those attacks.
If the Democrats are wise, they will re-open the investigations and this time, actually investigate. It's not settling for our nation to have a majority of its citizens believing that the government was complicit or at best incompetent to protect us from it.
There are too many theories out there and it would heal our nation if a real investigation were to take place.
As you may recall, the investigation pretended at questioning the various bureaus involved in the dissemination of facts. It was promised to the American people that after the election of 2004, the commission was going to carry the investigation up into the administration. Well, folks it never happened.
Instead, they found that our "intelligence" was flawed. This is a great scapegoat for them and the Administration; blame nameless, unknown entities and sell it to the people as thought they had gotten to the root of the question. All this accomplished was the Administration used it as an excuse to disembowel the FBI, the CIA and FEMA by clumping them altogether into one gigantic, incapable behemoth which as we all discovered was not even able to protect agailnst Hurricane Katrina.
