	Chairman of 9/11 Whitewash Commission Sets Stage For Al Queda Nuke Attack
		Kean a question about why the 9/11 Commission, on page 172 of their report, stated that the question of who bankrolled the September 11th attacks was "of little practical significance." He replied that the job cost so little money and that it was too hard to trace.
		Thomas Kean is a fraud, a hack and a puppet pedaling the same weak script written for him by his overlords to throw a whitewash over the events of 9/11.
		Kean reiterated that a key to the war on terror is "not making more terrorists than we can destroy," which is basically a thinly-veiled admission of the fact that all of these so-called terrorists are actually controlled by government forces.

	Chairman Kean's Link To bin Laden's Brother-in-law
		Kean may yet have to explain why his oil company board of directors continued to maintain a corporate relationship with an oil company backed by Osama bin Laden’s brother-in-law, who was reported to be a past financial benefactor of George W. Bush.
		Kean’s oil group did not extricate itself from its ties to the publicly known financier of terrorism until 15 months after the attacks--but just 21 days before President Bush appointed him chairman of the Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States.
		Kean has not been asked about his conversations with President Bush in the days prior to his appointment and whether their joint connections to the Saudi were discussed.

	The Raw Story \| Despite Saudi ties, 9/11 chair Thomas Kean is remarkbly clean
		Kean is a decidedly different sort of man. Despite supposed connections to a financial backer of Al Qaeda, Kean has remarkably clean hands.
		Kean’s grandfather, Hamilton Fish Kean, was an investment banker and New Jersey Senator, who’s worth was given as “nearly $50,000,000” in 1937’s “America’s Sixty Families” by Ferdinand Lundberg — an amount equal to about $624,624,716 today.
		Kean has been targeted for business dealings that include ties to Khalid bin Salim bin Mahfouz of the National Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia, who was named among some 70 defendants in a 2002 lawsuit brought by a group of some 600 families of September 11th victims.

	CBS News \| Bush: No Stonewall Of 9-11 Panel \| October 27, 2003 13:07:47
		Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, also told the Times that he believed the penal would soon be forced to issue subpoenas to other executive branch agencies because of continuing delays by the Bush administration in handing over documents and other evidence.
		Kean's remarks to the Times were his first explicit public warning to the White House that it risked a subpoena and a politically damaging courtroom showdown with the commission over access to the documents, which include Oval Office intelligence reports that reached President Bush's desk in the weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks.
		Kean suggested to the Times that he understood the concerns of the White House about the sensitivity of the documents at issue, saying that they were the sort of Oval Office intelligence reports that were so sensitive and highly classified that they had never been provided to Congress or to other outside investigators.

		Kean does not possess, by dint of experience, the wherewithal to ask the difficult questions that must be pressed if this investigation is to be successful.
		Now, we have Thomas Kean, a man with no training or background in any of the areas necessary to the investigation, a man who does not appear capable of taking on the intelligence community and the administration, much less the five other Republicans who will have veto power over the issuance of subpoenas.
