  • Criticism of the 9/11 Commission includes a variety of criticisms of the 9/11 Commission, the congressional commission set up to investigate the September 11, 2001 attacks and chaired by former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean. Because the investigation was controversial and politically sensitive, many participants have been criticised during the process. Leading critics include members of the 9/11 Family Steering Committee and the Jersey Girls, who were instrumental in overcoming government resistance to establishing the 9/11 Commission in the first place, according to the documentary 9/11: Press for Truth. The 9/11 commission members were appointed by George W. Bush as well as Congress, which led to the criticism that it was not a truly independent commission. The commission stated in its report that "[their] aim has not been to assign individual blame," a judgment which some critics believed would obscure the facts of the matter in a nod to consensus politics. In addition, some members of victims' families have claimed that the commission has numerous conflicts of interest.
