Pelosi Says "No" to a New 9/11 Investigation

Pelosi rattled off a quick, "No, no, no" to the idea of a new 9/11 investigation before changing the subject to claim that she "worked closely with the victims' families" and that they supposedly wanted the recent legislation.
Not only were many families of 9/11 victims disappointed with the 9/11 Commission's findings, many 9/11 survivors were outraged that their testimony had been omitted or distorted in the final report. Recommendations by the 9/11 Commission, which were the basis of this legislation, only obscured the lingering questions that families wanted answered in the first place.
Furthermore, nearly all of the victims' families want a new investigation and a large number of families believe 9/11 was an inside job, including Bill Doyle, the head of the largest 9/11 victim's families group.
That supposed assurance of safety through acquiescence was a selling point of the 9/11 Bill, and was all Pelosi would say before drifting back to more superficial conversation with other people at the event.
