I don't know which way to come down on this. I enjoy a good Clinton bashing as much as the next guy (Lord knows he deserves it), but if there is any reasonable chance that a public (and even closed door meetings with politicians involved may as well be public) investigation would compromise our terror defense efforts, it would probably be better left not done.
I believe that there have likely been numerous terror attack attempts since 9-11 that have been thwarted with no public information let out. That is a good thing. We should keep our methods as hidden from the terrorists as possible.
On the political side, President Bush is being very far-sighted in not attacking back at Clinton and others. History, I believe, will prove that he was a very good, perhaps even great, president. This is not satisfying for many of us amateur pundits, who want our pound of flesh NOW, but I think he is doing the right thing, which includes his practical application of the Christian teachings that guide his life. He has not played the blame game during his presidency, except with regard to terrorists and the Axis of Evil. He has tried to tone down the rhetoric in his administration, while the dems have ratcheted up. This will continue to hurt them, as we shall see in 2006 and 2008. Patience, my friends, and (to borrow a phrase from the other side), Courage.
By the way, has the "wall" been knocked down yet? Just wondering.
