Powell to present 9/11 whitewash commission member with public service medal Raw
Story Former Secretary of State Colin Powell will present a public service medal named for President Dwight Eisenhower to Lee Hamilton, a former Democratic member of Congress who co-chaired commissions investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the Iraq war. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Medal for Leadership and Service, which is awarded annually, will be presented to Hamilton at a ceremony in Philadelphia Thursday. The medal honors "widely recognized advances toward President Eisenhower's vision of peace and productivity through person-to-person international dialogue," according to a press release from the Eisenhower Fellowships.
Hamilton last year worked alongside former Secretary of State James Baker as co-chair of the Iraq Study Group, which evaluated the US position in Iraq and recommended several policy changes to President Bush. The former 17-term Indiana Representative also served as vice-chair of the 9/11 Commission, which examined the worst terrorist attack committed on US soil. "Through his willingness to provide leadership and seek solutions through cooperation and dialogue, both as an elected official and as a private citizen, Lee Hamilton has demonstrated the qualities which Dwight Eisenhower sought to promote throughout his lifetime," said John S. Wolf, president of the Eisenhower Fellowships. ---------------------------------------------------
