The attacks of 9/11 already had an independent review, and it was pretty darn thorough. The folks who claim that 9/11 was some sort of inside job are much the same as the people who declare that there's something "wrong" with the moon landings, or the birthers who claim that President Obama is an Indonesian Muslim.

Now, an elected official might be able to hold nutty views and still hold on to power, so long as he or she has a base of support. But these "czars" are unelected advisers who hold no executive power, so they're vulnerable, and being shown to associate with a loony fringe element is a death sentence.

Does that sorta explain it?
