I'm not sure how you've come away with that impression, but let me clear something up for you.
Since you and I have been talking, we've been under Republican rule. First Congress, then the President and now the Supreme Court. The republican line has been the government line. Healthy skies means permission to put more sludge into the air. Healthy Forests means the right to cut old growth forests. I reject Republican talking points.
The 9/11 commission, besides being manned by members of both parties, is based on interviews with the people involved, whose testimonies have been preserved. One party was not allowed to run over the other. I don't think it's the unvarnished truth, but it's as close as we'll ever get. The fact that Republican operatives have been lying about it, unchallenged by the media, makes me give it even more credibility.
