tom kean served as chair of the 9/11 commission, and says such an investigation could rise above partisanairman of the 9/11 commission, my vice chairman, the two of us had a record of working across the aisle, we had a record working in bipartisan solutions, none of us were ever running for anything in theirfutures, we had no ambition. we are a big country, there are a lot of good people out there. we are a big country, there are a lot of good people out there. not only former congressmen but members of the obama administration, members of the bush administration, formerjudges, governors or ex—governors. a number of people out there who would be glad to serve the country once again. the important thing is that when you pick members of a commission like this, they have bipartisan records, lessons of integrity, people who put the country before the party and, if we do that again, i think we will get the kind of solution and the kind of investigation the country needs and merits. police in ecuador say they are working to control an outbreak of rioting in three differentjails in which at leas
