What most bothers me about this whole thing is the news media are not trumpeting the FACT that the Bush administration had embarked on a complete review and reframing of the way the terrorist threat was going to be handled. They were hamstrung by the delay due to the 2000 election debacle, plus maintaining so many Clinton appointees in responsible positions in an effort to have more continuity of operations until they were able to complete their reorganization plans, but they in fact did come up with that plan, I believe as of Sep.4,2001. A bit late, and probably rather revamped after 9/11... but they were certainly addressing the trouble. They also made an effort to compartmentalize such fools as Mr.Clarke who were wedded to the past methodologies hoping to minimize the impact when they finally understood the way they needed to go to get the job done.

When the media starts to get it right, I'll faint, though...

I do agree. The media is working overtime to paint the picture Bush administration allowed and or caused 9/11.
