Karl Rove and neo-con Phil Zelikow screwed with the 9-11 report, packed it with lies and bull***

A forthcoming book by NYT reporter Philip Shenon -- "The Commission:
The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation" -- asserts that
former 9/11 Commission executive director Philip Zelikow interfered
with the 9/11 report. (Zelikow is a charter member of the "Project
for A New American Century" -- the neo-con "think tank" that gave us
Cheney, Wolfowitz, Bolton, Perle, and the rest of the criminal gang
that got us into Iraq.)

According to the book, Zelikow had failed to inform the commission at
the time he was hired that he was instrumental in helping Condoleezza
Rice set up Bush's National Security Council in 2001. Some panel
staffers believe Zelikow stopped them from submitting a report
depicting Rice's performance prior to 9/11 as "amount[ing] to
incompetence."

Relying on the accounts of Max Holland, an author and blogger who has
obtained a copy of the forthcoming book, ABC reports that Zelikow was
holding private discussions with White House political adviser Karl
Rove during the course of the 9/11 investigation:

In his book, Shenon also says that while working for the panel,
Zelikow appears to have had private conversations with former White
House political director Karl Rove, despite a ban on such
communication, according to Holland. Shenon reports that Zelikow later
ordered his assistant to stop keeping a log of his calls, although the
commission's general counsel overruled him, Holland wrote.

Zelikow flatly denied discussing the commission's work with Rove. "I
never discussed the 9/11 Commission with him, not at all. Period."

After completing his work with the 9/11 Commission, Zelikow was hired
by Condoleezza Rice as Counselor at the State Department. He resigned
from that position in late 2006. In 1995, Rice and Zelikow co-authored
a book entitled, "Germany Unified and Europe Transformed."
