And who said otherwise?

Until I had the time to visit the library, and thus the Zone, my exposure to this story has been exclusively through NPR and the BBC - hardly what any but the ravers would call 'liberal press' (though the only time I heard "what did the President know and when did he know it" was from a BBC commentator). A Demo congressperson interviewed by the BBC downplayed the blame factor and said, basically, any investigation will be for the purposes of learning how to avoid further mistakes.

A lot of sound and fury will be generated about this, and almost all of it will signify nothing. At the very worst, the eventual outcome will merely reinforce what we already know: The "it can't happen here" complacency which pervaded American society before 11.Sept.2001 is what permitted the events of that day to occur.

I give it a week, at most, before communal attention deficit disorder wanders off to newer issues.
