Lee
Hamilton un-broke Iran-Contra, covering up the Bush
crime spree
and giving the head of the BFEE a big, giant pass for everything
he did.
...and now he's steering the 9-11 investigation?
Why did the Democrats cave in on this one, too?
If you and I know Hamilton is a Bush bootlicker, why didn't
the Democrats?
Why do they keep caving in to everything that Bush proposes?
Why don't the Democrats want the truth of 9-11 to come out?

Covering Up Iran-Contra
Excerpt:
Cheney smartly exploited his relationship
with Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., who was chairman of the Iran-contra panel.
Hamilton cared deeply about his reputation
for bipartisanship and the Republicans quickly exploited this fact.
A senior committee source said one of Cheney’s
top priorities was to block Democrats from deposing Vice President Bush
about his Iran-contra knowledge. Cheney
“kept trying to intimidate Hamilton,” the source said. “He kept saying
if we go
down that road, we won’t have bipartisanship.”
So, Hamilton gave Bush a pass. The
limited investigation also gave little attention to other sensitive areas,
such as
contra-drug trafficking and the public
diplomacy operation. They were pared down or tossed out altogether.
Despite surrendering to Cheney’s demands
time and again, Hamilton failed, in the end, to get a single House
Republican to sign the final report.
Only three moderate Republicans on the Senate
side – Warren Rudman, William Cohen and Paul Trible – agreed to
sign the report, after extracting more
concessions. Cheney and the other Republicans submitted a minority report
that
denied that any significant wrongdoing
had occurred.
The watered-down Iran-contra majority report
essentially let Vice President Bush off the hook.
Bush’s political career was saved.
Lost History: Reagan-Bush Crime Syndicate
Excerpt:
Even after North's contra supply operations
were exposed in October 1986, when one of his planes
(which had been used to carry cocaine)
was shot down, the allegations about contra drug trafficking
continued facing Reagan-Bush denunciations
and little interest in either Congress or the media. In July 1987,
a spectator interrupted North's Iran-contra
testimony by demanding that someone "ask about the cocaine."
But the only response was a cursory
review released by Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind.,
which concluded that there was no truth
to the contra drug charges.
When President Bush lost re-election in
1992, whatever scant media interest in the crimes of that era evaporated.
Unlike other countries which have sought
to achieve some accounting for official crimes of the Cold War, the
United States seems determined to forget
the past. The Clinton administration and congressional Democrats,
such as Lee Hamilton, have joined in
whitewashing other evidence that Reagan and Bush had presided over
an era of extraordinary criminality.
For his part, Hamilton hid documentary
evidence that Reagan's 1980 campaign had colluded
with Iranian terrorists to stymie
President Carter's efforts to free 52 American hostages.
(See
The October Surprise X-Files: The Hidden Origins of the Reagan-Bush Era.)
Conclusion: Lee Hamilton must be working for the BFEE.

Then write or call your representative and senator and ask
them why a Bush bootlicker
is steering the 9-11 committee to the "Bush is certainly innocent
and blame-free" conclusion.
