more partisan smokescreen
This whole 9/11 commission has me thinking this is it, this is the last gasp of the baby boomers. They want another Watergate, something that will allow them to paint Republicans as Evil and Democrats as Good (when in fact both are Evil).
Heck, some of the players in this 9/11 commission are even the same publicity hogs that worked on Watergate. (Hello, Mr. Ben-Veniste. Searching to recover past glory are we?)
Democrats (at least the high priesthood) really don't care one way or another about what Bush could have done prior to 9/11 to prevent it from occurring. When they should be looking at "what went wrong?" and "how do we fix the problem?", they are looking at "Who is to blame?" (conveniently ignoring the fact that one of the chief architects of the intentional communications breakdown between the various national security agencies, a primary part of "what went wrong", sits on the 9/11 commission, one Jamie Gorelick).
And I don't absolve the Republicans either, they were looking for their own Watergate with Bill Clinton (who surely deserved a Watergating but curiously got off scot-free). To both groups, it is all about Power.
