On October 11, 2002, Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) “openly accused the Bush administration of deliberately sabotaging their efforts to create an independent commission appointed by Congress to investigate 9/11, suggesting the administration was afraid the investigation might turn up government failure. McCain said, ‘Every bureaucracy in this town is scared to death of an investigation. …No one has really been held accountable [by Bush]. No one has lost their job…no one has even been reprimanded…nothing has happened as a result of September 11. Unless responsibility is assigned, then we can’t cure the problem.’ ”
