To the contrary, it shows GWB was engaged on the issue - it was generated because of his inquiries. And since the document apparently has no new threat information, it is reasonable that information in this document would be used in forming the NEW STRATEGIC policy which was under development at that very point in time, and there would be no NEW tactical implications. And since the very first foreign policy directive from the Bush administration was one to eliminate Al Qaeda, it confirms with solid irrefutable evidence, that it was of the highest priority. This is further refutation of Clarke’s story, which says it was not urgent, and that Bush was pre-occupied with Iraq.

I heard this morning on the Today show that Sen. Kerrey said there's nothing the public doesn't know in that report. And a member of the Bush press office also spoke, saying they were declassifying it ASAP. I'm ambivalent about the blame thing. I have no love for the Bush administration and want to see them gone, I believe they did everything they could, given the information they had, to protect us. September 11th was a shock to all Americans and it was perpetrated by terrorists, who are the "enemy" to whom the vast majority of our attentions should be focuses. IMO, blaming administrations for ball-dropping is not the best way to spend our energies, particularly now, with the Presidential elections (and the heightened possibility that al Quada will pull a Spain-style attack) looming. Your wife's right about the tense thing!
