Former Nebraska senator Bob Kerrey has been named the newest member of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks. Kerrey replaces Max Cleland who stepped down in order to serve on the Export-Import Bank. As a Senator Kerrey served as the ranking Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee. He now serves as the president of the New School. Last year thousands of students at the New School protested Kerrey’s decision to join the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq which was formed to advocate invading Iraq. In 2001 it was revealed that Kerrey took part in a massacre of women and children in Vietnam.
