If you study enough history, anyone with a brain will notice its a good idea to do some research on the author/s of the history being studied. Read a British or French textbook on the American Revolution sometime. In this case, it is a good idea to research a bit on the history of each member of the committee and how same was chosen, and by which constituency. Understanding the garbage brought to the table at the get-go explains a lot of the garbage that ultimately comes off of it.
To take this report at face value and conclude that what is in it constitutes 'the truth, and the whole truth' is naive at best and just plain stupid at worst, course, these days stupidity seems increasingly pervasive, i give you Jay Leno's 'man in the street' interrogations.
Further,reflect a bit on the long known but recently revealed NSC chair 'accidentally' stuffing classified docs into his socks...and somehow 'losing' many of the documents thus purloined, documents that coincidentally reflected actions and inactions taken by he and his boss.
I will agree that the report is the most comprehensive document generally available to the public to date..but therein lies the rub. A tremendous amount of the information regarding these events is currently classified so high that regardless of what clearance someone might have, critical info is STILL 'need to know'. Compound that with the fact that the vast majority of the relevant info is closely held by various departments of the military and intelligence communities, 2 of the most ego driven communities in the history of the planet, and you can rest assured that 'full disclosure' does not accurately describe the testimony or production of documents leading to the generation of your 'report'.
By all means read it, but like the Bible, I wouldn't advise taking everything it contains at face value, unless of course you believe that all gays should immediately be stoned to death....
Now I suppose that someone holding the foregoing views could be considered a crackpot 'conspiracy theorist', unless, of course, that someone had been part of the 'conspiracy'
