We don’t care if it’s right, thorough, or helps prevent future attacks…Just get it done!

And by get it done, we mean get it done soon enough that voters won’t remember it come November:

A growing number of commission members had concluded that the panel needs more time to prepare a thorough and credible accounting of missteps leading to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. But the White House and leading Republicans have informed the panel that they oppose any delay, which raises the possibility that Sept. 11-related controversies could emerge during the heat of the presidential campaign, sources said.

Much of the delay is due to the lack of cooperation by the White House, as spokesman Erin Healy explained:

“The administration has given them an unprecedented amount of cooperation.”

Not an unprecedentedly large amount of cooperation, but simply an unprecedented amount. That is, find the smallest amount of cooperation by any White House in an investigation of this sort. If the current White House cooperates a bit less than that amount, then Healy’s statement is technically true.
