Another theme of the 9-11 commission is to gloss over the President's resistance to hold the hearings in the first place. The truth is that the hearings would not have occurred had it not been for the insistence of the family members.

On page xvii "We thank the Congress and the President..."

Only at the end of the thanks..
"We conclude this list of thanks by coming full circle: We thank the families of 9/11, who persistance and dedication helped create the Commission."

Since the report starts off skirting the truth about the formation of the Commission and the President's reluctance and stonewalling what is the reader to infer about the rest of the report?
