What the 9/11 families want

It's be a cold day in hell when those "family values" Republicans let that happen!
Some family members of Sept. 11 victims are unhappy with the pace and direction of the commission's 18-month inquiry, which passed its midway mark in late August.
They want the committee to pinpoint government failures and, where necessary, to name those accountable.
"What we want is investigative hearings with witnesses who answer questions pertinent to the investigation," said Carol Ashley, whose daughter Janice was killed at the World Trade Center.
Ashley is a member of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Independent Commission, which released a midterm report card giving the commission poor marks, including D's for the public meetings it has held.
