Dan Froomkin's EMD commission game
Dazzle your friends with your intimate knowledge of the commission and the answers to these questions:
• Which commission member's current job -- as a vice president for Northrop Grumman -- was left out of the White House press release?
I have no idea
• Which commissioner chairs a human-rights organization funded by a billionaire who is also funding the anti-Bush political movement?
The billionaire is George Soros, the organization is the Open Society Foundation (not really a human rights org)
• Which commissioner, according to Salon, "has been near the febrile center of the largest political scandals of the past two decades, from the rumored 'October surprise' of 1980 and the Iran-contra trials to the character assassination of Anita Hill and the impeachment of President Clinton"?
Co chair Laurence H. Silberman
• Which commissioner allegedly attended cocaine parties?
Co chair Charles S. Robb
• Which commission staff member worked for 14 years as a White House correspondent?
I have no idea
[update]
My score
1 Studeman I did't know or guess
2 Wald (no guess) Open Society Justice Institute (didn't know it existed but guessed the first two words from link to Soros). I got the billionaire
3 Correct
4 Correct
5 spokesman Lary McQuillan
2.5 out of 5 not so bad
