He may be right about the type and possibility of future attacks. We should prepare at all levels, civilian and military. This unfortunately isn't just a one-time deal, this preparation will make us a stronger country. The world is getting more technological, and if you read Bill Joy's hysteria, you'll think we need to do this anyway. This is just preparation for a more secure 21st century life. However he's full of crap about the rest of it. We didn't have this problem in previous years because diplomatic and military efforts were directed to avoid it. The Bush administrations, past and present, have been disasters, to the profit of many individuals like this, not the country as a whole. As a manager with experience in these matters, when faced with incompetence or criminality, or any massive failure in the intelligence services, you do something that's not easy, but it's simple: YOU FIRE THEM. The responsibility goes directly to the top. Blaming your underlings is the way of the coward and the criminal. You can't fire people like this, since they're "off the shelf, self-financed", i.e. a flag-waving profiteer. They are hired to say keep the cronies and criminals and give them more $$, which ends up in his pocket down the line. He makes me puke. I'd like to have a little hand-to-hand with that bstard.
