January 24, 2002: Bush and Cheney Urge Senator to Avoid 9/11 Inquiry: 

"Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D) later claims that on this day, Vice President Cheney calls him and urges that no 9/11 inquiry be made. President Bush repeats the request on January 28, and Daschle is repeatedly pressured thereafter. Newsweek summarizes one of these conversations: “Bush administration officials might say they’re too busy running the war on terrorism to show up. Press the issue… and you risk being accused of interfering with the mission.” [Newsweek, 2/4/2002] Cheney later disagrees: “Tom’s wrong. He has, in this case, let’s say a misinterpretation.”

We need reminders like this a) to keep us out of a rut and b) to prevent groupthink and c) because the Anthrax killer is STILL AT LARGE!
