We hear that the 9/11 hearings are politically motivated, and won't accomplish anything. Of course, anyone who says this is making a politically motivated statement.
The hearings will accomplish two things. First, they will indicate whether the Bush administration is competent to run the county, and that will help voters make a wise choice during the next presidential election. Second, people can't learn from their mistakes unless they know what they did wrong. Thus, we can at least hope that the hearings will help the Bush administration develop more effective policies. Of course, this may be wishful thinking, since Bush apparently would never admit to making a mistake, and thus will see no reason to change his policies.
