Thanks for the comments. The Betty Currie story was put in as an unstated contrast to the current administration and to demonstrate how Clinton abused his White House staff, making them complicit in his schemes.
If you have specific information on Linda Daschle activities (beyond her being a lobbyist for the airline industries) that helped make the airliners vulnerable to the Sept. 11 attacks, let me know.

Pre-911 I haven't heard anything specific, but I do remember hearing if not reading about her pushing for mandatory purchases of ineffective screening equipment post-911. I don't recall the name of the company, however.
Of course, the whole leasing instead of buying planes from Boeing controversy continues to this day and even made the news again a few days ago.
Anyway, thanks for being there!
