Now, if she had known, it doesn't necessarily prove that we would have been able to prevent the attacks, but that's not the point. The point is that the administration needs to keep on top of basic things like this, and they weren't.

Absolute nonsense. You demand absoulute perfection from the Bush team which is completely irrational. How about addressing the 8 YEARS of inaction from Clinton as the threat grew and grew? How about taking a mature adult position that mistakes were made ALL AROUND instead of looking to point finger of partisan blame? Rather then engage in this hyper partisan lock the barn door after the horse escaped blame game, how about some CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions on what to do to prevent future 9-11s? But that is not the purpose of the 9-11 Commission at all. All the 9-11 Commission is for is so hyper partisan hate Bush bigots have a platform to attack the President. The fact that all these holes in our security that the Bush haters want to blame on Bush have been closed by the Patriot Act, Bush's doctrine of Preemption and the Department of Homeland Security seems to have passed completely unnoticed. No, instead the Bush haters would rather engage in a totally childish blame game pointing fingers and engaging in divisive political grandstanding. The supporter of the 9-11 Commission and their Bush hater puppet masters ought to be totally ashamed of their desperation to smear Bush with 9-11. The grandstanding and finger pointing of the Bush haters are an insult to the memory of all those who died 9-11

Actually what I demand is that their deficiencies be brought to light. Then we can decide whether they were excusable or not.

And I don't particularly care that this is being done out of partisan motivations. Our system of government is designed so that people acting out of partisan motivations can serve the public interest by holding their opponents accountable for their actions or inactions. It's working as intended.
