On NPR, I just heard a discussion of the proposed independent investigations of the U.S. intelligence failures, concerning the pre-war Iraq situation.
What I found perversely amusing, was a proposal from someone on the Republican side, that the findings of the independent investigation SHOULD NOT be released until after the upcoming presidential elections - That the finding should not be an issue in the election.
In other words, an investigation that might find that there was gross incompetence on the part of the current administration, should not be an issue in the presidential election.
