CIA and 9/11
While I don't believe the CIA is without fault in failing to prevent 9/11, I think that reports out today regarding that failure are unfair and clearly designed to make the CIA the scapegoat. Before simply believing what you read in the media, especially in regards to 9/11, I think you should read George Tenet's book "In the Center of the Storm" which clearly, succinctly and without regard for his own ego explains the CIA's role, it's failures and it's successes from the time of Tenet's hiring until his retirement in 2004. It is a very interesting read, which clearly shows that many people and many organizations were at fault, so we can't just blame the CIA, but he is also very willing to point out where CIA failed. He addresses each issue brought up in today's papers with clarity and explains not only CIA's role in them, but the role of other agencies, FBI, the Pentagon, etc. I do believe that the 9/11 commission, which seem to serve absolutely no purpose other than to appease a few activist women who tragically lost their husbands has finally found it's purpose. The conspiracy it was supposed to investigate never existed, however, there is a conspiracy in our government regarding 9/11. That conspiracy is to blame CIA however and whenever possible. That much seems apparent. Now my cynical side is finally revealed.

It's means It is. Its is possessive, like "his".
This is overly picky, but I figured you needed a comment. :)
