Behind closed doors

Bush has a track record of making poor nominations. In 2002, his nomination of Henry Kissinger as chair of the 9/11 commission was frustrated when Kissinger refused to disclose his financial ties. The commission went on to find an exemplary chair in Thomas Kean, who exercised his power of subpoena to get unwilling US neocons to testify. Let us hope that this latest Bush nomination gets kicked into the long grass.
