They Will Need A Lot More Time To 'Study' This
based on a report from The Bulldog Manifesto. November 14, 2005
The WMD Commission was formed pursuant to Executive Order 13328, to address the myriad "intelligence failures" the Bush administration claims resulted in the misdiagnosis of Iraq's WMD program, or better yet, the lack of WMD program.
The WMD commission came back with 68 recommendations. Of those 68 recommendatons, the Bush administration has agreed to follow 65. On the very last recommendation, the Bush administration held that "Further Study" was needed.
The final recommendation reads:
Why would the White House need "further study" to determine whether it is sound policy to "hold accountable those organizations that contributed to the flawed assessments of Iraq's WMD programs"?
Is it possible that the White House doesn't want to execute the last recommendation because it would mean that Bush administration "friends and family" would be held accountable?
Is it possible that the White House doesn't want to execute the last recommendation because it would also mean holding itself accountable?
Something tells me they will need a lot more time to "study" this.

The final recommendation reads:
The Director of National Intelligence should hold accountable the organizations that contributed to the flawed assessments of Iraq's WMD programs.In response to this recommendation, the White House has stated that it needs "further study" to implement this recommendation.
