Newsweek - get some self-respect. This article is crap from headline to finish - just like the 9/11 Commission's report.
"Enough Blame" indeed - it was Bush, not Clinton who took more vacation time in his first year than most presidents take in an entire term, and Rice who ignored Richard Clarke's numerous dire warnings. There is convincing evidence that these people WANTED and NEEDED just such an attack to further their agenda. Planes alone did not cause 3 buildings to collapse that day. 18 bandits did not catch the entire US military and air command off guard - the attack was permitted, and enhanced dramatically with means FAR BEYOND what a few thugs with box cutters could accomplish.
The 9/11 Commission's primary mission was to obfuscate and diffuse blame. It did very well. It failed to indict Giuliani for no-bid contracts to Motorola for the radios that failed the firemen in their final hour, for the eight years that Giulian didn't plan a rapid evacuation of the twin towers, for the eight years that Giuliani didn't re-locate the Emergency Command center, which forced him out onto the street on 9/11, making him look like the hero that he wasn't.
