Timothy Roemer said "I offer an amendment which is bipartisan, by Democrats and Republicans, to create a bipartisan commission, a blue ribbon commission, to look back at what happened prior to 9-11 and fix the problems, not through a political witch hunt, not through blame, but looking back to fix mistakes so we can move forward and prevent future terrorist attacks. Back on 9-11, I distinctly remember just a few days after our Twin Towers were hit in New York City, going up to that site with members of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. We were talking to emergency workers, family members, people affected in New York directly by these attacks. It is one of the most difficult things I think anybody can do in public life, and I can only imagine what the people themselves have been through, losing wives and husbands, brothers and sisters." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
