Do you pick headlines for the NY Times?

I think the title Salon used was: "Commission Warned Bush."

Nevertheless, IMHO, this is the most salient admission:

Neither Hart nor Rudman claim that their recommendations, if enacted, would have necessarily prevented Tuesday's tragedy. "Had they adopted every recommendation we had put forward at that time I don't think it would have changed what happened," Rudman says. "There wasn't enough time to enact everything. But certainly I would hope they pay more attention now."

"Could this have been prevented?" Hart asks. "The answer is, 'We'll never know.' Possibly not."

The fact is that this kind of stuff is impossible to prevent as long as these terrorist networks (forget about the cells for a moment) are allowed to operate, aided and abetted by nation states and sympathetic financiers, with total impunity.
