Why does Tom Kean hate Amurka?
Boy, Bush is gonna be pissed about this.
For the first time, the chairman of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is saying publicly that 9/11 could have and should have been prevented, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston."This is a very, very important part of history and we've got to tell it right," said Thomas Kean.
"As you read the report, you're going to have a pretty clear idea what wasn't done and what should have been done," he said. "This was not something that had to happen."
[...]
"There are people that, if I was doing the job, would certainly not be in the position they were in at that time because they failed. They simply failed," Kean said.
[...]
Kean admits the commission also has more questions than answers.
Asked whether we should at least know if people sitting in the decision-making spots on that critical day are still in those positions, Kean said, "Yes, the answer is yes. And we will."
Kean promises major revelations in public testimony beginning next month from top officials in the FBI, CIA, Defense Department, National Security Agency and, maybe, President Bush and former President Clinton.
I predict: Watch those claims of Executive Privilege fly.

. . .I sure hope Kean stays off small airplanes for a while.

I was always puzzled by the fact that no one lost their job after 9-11. After all, it was the biggest security breach in US history. For comparison, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR fired both Adm. Kimmel and Lt. Gen. Short (the US commaders at Pearl).
Should the CIA and/or the FBI take some responsibility for the humiliation and pain of 9-11? Nah. Besides, wasn't 9-11 Hillary's fault? In fact, isn't everything Hillary's fault?
