He should've gotten started, anyhow. That presumes that Bush should have known there were problems at CIA and FBI. I'm not sure that is reasonable to expect that of him. I believe there is one thing the Bush administration did wrong throughout this process: They failed to act on the briefing provided to them by the outgoing NSA. They obviously didn't take the threat seriously enough (where "seriously enough" is defined as some level greater than that of the previous administration). And Clinton should've done the same with what Bush Sr. left behind, too. I don't believe there is any evidence to suggest that Bush Sr. left behind a mess the way Clinton did. None of these "messes" match the horrible mess Carter left behind in CIA. It took all of the 80s just to begin recovering from Carter's gutting of the CIA.
