9/11 lies of Peter, Dan & Tom. Call them the spokesholes of the Democrat Party: "The Republican Chairman and Democratic Vice Chairman of the 9-11 Commission on Thursday rejected the media�s widespread reporting that the commission�s report issued the day before had directly contradicted Bush administration statements about connections between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein�s Iraq. Yet on Thursday night ABC�s Peter Jennings declared that there �continues to be a discrepancy between the commission�s findings and the President�s on whether al-Qaeda has a link to Saddam Hussein,� and CBS anchor Dan Rather repeated how �the commission yesterday said it had found no credible evidence of a quote, 'collaborative relationship� between al-Qaeda and Iraq -- no plotting together against the United States,� but, he added in treating President Bush as out of step, without mentioning how Kean and Hamilton had corrected CBS�s mis-reporting, �President Bush insisted again today that there was a quote 'relationship� of some kind and defended his position.� NBC�s Tom Brokaw took a similar tack, repeating how the commission had found �that there was no 'collaborative relationship� between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.� But, Brokaw lectured, �despite that conclusion, President Bush insisted there was a relationship between the two.�
