If I don't acknowledge it, it doesn't exist

Yes, the former members of the 9/11 Commission have no legal powers. On June 16 they sent letters to the President, the Department of Defense, State Department, FBI, CIA and other executive agencies asking for interviews and updated information on what's being done to prevent terrorist attacks here.

To date they have received zero responses, not even an acknowledgement that the agencies received the letter. I guess the agencies feel that common courtesy is not needed when a war on terror is being fought. And, that war on terror is going so well - in their minds, anyway - that they need not report on it to the public.
