You obviously missed the point of the article.

Cheney attacked Rand Paul first and defended the expansion of government power that happened during the Bush years.

Then Rand Paul replied that instead of trampling on the constitution to spy on law abiding citizens, the Bush administraton should have fired the people who missed all the clues and failed to defend the country on 9/11.

This is just common sense. One of the hijackers was arrested just before 9/11. Somebody obviously screwed up and failed to prevent the attack. Then their first response is to ask for more power and more money to spy on every law abiding citizen in the country and store all their communications forever in Utah.

The person who caused the massoui fiasco was gorelick.

Rand is disingenuous to imply it was bush/Cheney’s fault when they are the ones who broke down the wall.
