Kissinger as head of the September 11 investigation....

I wasn't aware of the direct conflict of interest: we all thought he was a *former* war criminal and terrorism mastermind. But maybe not. He could still be at it through his consulting company. And his clients, of course, overlap with the Bush family business partners. Hey! There you go.

I also liked the Kiss-of-death's quote that his panel is "under no restrictions, and we will accept no restrictions"... such as telling the truth, or not lying about the Bush junta's involvement in terrorism, money laundering, etc.

But to be "fair and balanced" for a moment.... Again, it's not a question of whether Kissinger *would* cover up for Bush, it's the *appearance* of impropriety that is intolerable. Keeping his client list secret doesn't mean there's no appearance of impropriety, it means the whole thing stinks worse.

Kissinger should resign immediately. And someone should slap him silly for having accepted the position. Democrats should demand his resignation.
