“More broadly, the authors argue that the Bush administration failed to respond to the terrorist threat before the Sept. 11 hijackings. Senior military officers who served during the Clinton-Bush transition are quoted in the book as saying that terrorism moved "farther to the back burner" in the early days of the Bush administration — at least until Sept. 11.”

This would be kinda hard to deny, considering Ashcroft’s attempt to cut the counter-terrorism budget. Teflon – the clues just slid off ‘em.

Some folks will try to deny this. Shows that they CAN fool some of the people all of the time.
