profiles of each member of Bush's appointed whitewash commission
http://www.oldamericancentury.org/intel_commission.htm

the whole page is too long to post in it's entirety so I'll just give ya the one person on the committee that isn't totally corrupt or have a conflict of interest:

Former appellate court judge Patricia Wald
Squeaky clean as far as I can tell. Token female, perhaps? Or perhaps some sort of punishment?

In his controversial book, 'Blinded by the Right', former right-wing journalist David Brock said Intelligence investigation co-chairman Laurence Silberman gave ''false information'' to him about Patricia Wald whom, according to Brock, ''(Silberman) hated with a passion''. Brock depicts Silberman as a major, if discreet, figure in the right-wing network that harassed Bill and Hillary Clinton for various alleged scandals during the 1990s. (22)

Patricia Wald replaced Laurence Silberman as judge in the Microsoft court cases after he was forced to recuse himself (23)

It seems this isn't the only time they have butted heads (24)

Before their appointment the American Bar Association rated Judge Wald as "well qualified." Judge Silberman was rated "qualified-not qualified."

Patricia Wald, 75, has been a judge at the Hague-based International Criminal Court since 1992.
She was named to the Washington federal appeals court in 1977 by then-president Jimmy Carter, a Democrat. But Wald retired in 1999 and became an ICE magistrate whose work has included trials of the first criminals from the former Yugoslavia.
