As we reflect once more on 9/11 as the sixth anniversary of those tragic events has come and gone, we need as a nation to focus on what is truly important.

Ranking at the top is a duty we owe to the victims of the tragedies and their families as well as loved ones, an independent investigation of the events that occurred on that unforgettable day.

First of all, we must take note of the fact that the Official 9/11 Commission that was ultimately convened and delivered a report was established only after the pressures on Dick Cheney and George W. Bush became insurmountable.  

Who could forget Cheney's words on the subject?  According to Cheney we should not investigate 9/11 since it would only take time and precious resources away from fighting terrorism.
