Are We Safer? The author seems too willing to give GWB a pass for taking his eye off the ball in allowing 9/11. The biggest terrorist attack on our soil ever and he seems disinclined to assign any blame at all to the CiC whose watch it happened on. Other than the frequency with which he uses the word "may" in the next to last paragraph, I would agree that our much-improved vigilance has helped us thwart any further attacks, which is how it should be. I give no creedence to the flypaper theory. Al Queda could certainly spare 19 hijackers from the battlefield again if they wanted to. I give credit to our increased vigilance and intel gathering for the diminished attacks and give GWB the credit he is due for that. But it still doesn't absolve him of 9/11.
