Thanks for posting the Miniter piece, ~M. Any one of the 13 items he called particular attention to are items that probably Gore, and others like him, have just brushed under the rug. Some people just don't want to have to deal with the terrorists....would just as soon brush the problem aside. I've found when people say "We shouldn't have gone to war", or "we should have planned better" etc....that when I ask them what THEY would have done, or WHAT the Administration SHOULD have done....It's a big dead dull 'super nothing'--no idea at all.... This paragraph was most interesting.... >>>>>>The 9/11 panel seems recklessly naive when it takes the word of the intelligence community as gospel. A wise commissioner would remember that everyone has an institutional interest, a bias. >>>>>>(E.g., for many in the intelligence community, conceding that Iraq could have been one of bin Laden's backers would be admitting that they were wrong for the past decade and wrong to oppose the Iraq war.) And a neutral commissioner would conclude that the jury is still out on Iraq-al Qaeda, not stamp it "case closed."
