This is good news. I trust McCain and think he's smart enough and politically savvy enough to look for and present the truth. Unfortunately that truth will be strictly limited in scope and focus solely on the intelligence without delving into how the information was used. We may have our own Hutton report.
Of course, narrowing the focus is politically pragmatic as the RNC would not take kindly to a man who supported the war and still supports the war openly question the very machine that got us into the war. Once this commission is done, we may another, more independent commission, exploring how the information was actually used versus gathered. This will be long after the election, of course.
Some good news. Bush has given the 9/11 commission more time to do its job. He should not have made it an issue and just said "whatever you need."
