I wish the finger-pointing would stop, but I know it won't stop until right after the election in November.

The key point in LindyBills post is this sentence.

why didn't the Clinton-Gore administration destroy it and spare us Sept. 11

A classic "accident investigation" on the WTC tragedy cannot commence until all parties concerned put there hands up and say "I was responsible for the WTC tragedy to some degree". No point staying in the river and hoping not to be noticed. Everyone has to get out of denial first. They then explain where they went wrong and the mistakes they made. The Clinton/Gore administration made many foreign policy mistakes. It doesn't mean they are "bad" though, they made their decisions for many reasons that seemed sensible at the time.

Gore will be playing from a very tough corner (I think this must be why he has been so quiet up till now) until he has gone though the "mea culpa" process imho.

If Gore did his "mea culpa" , it would prompt lots of others to do the same, and all the B/S would be got over quickly. The finger pointing is most destructive and will not help anybody.
