Rep. Cheney: 'I have been a conservative Republican since 1984...I've disagreed sharply on policy and politics with almost every Democratic member of this committee. But in the end, we are one nation under God.' 'This investigation must be nonpartisan.'
In her opening statement, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said the panel's first choice was to have an independent, bipartisan commission not made up of lawmakers to investigate the attack -- but that effort was killed by Republican leadership.
Cheney also reminded that Republicans had"recognized the events that day for what they actually were" in the days after the attack, even if members downplay it now, but said the committee's work is just beginning.
