Yglesias finds this nonsense from the WaPo's David Broder:
The nine men and one woman serving on the commission -- five from each party -- represented a wide range of political backgrounds and philosophical views.
That "wide range" did not include anyone who was opposed to the war. Again, via Atrios:

On Countdown:
The fact is this commission was composed apparently entirely of people who did not have the judgment to oppose this Iraq war in the first place, and did not have the judgment to realize it was not a wise move in the fight against terrorism. So that's who is doing this report. Then I looked at the list of who testified before them. There is virtually no one who opposed the war in the first place. Virtually no one who has been really calling for a different strategy that goes for a global approach to the war on terrorism. So this is really a Washington inside job and it shows not in the description of what's happened - that's fairly accurate - but it shows in the recommendations.
