As far as the "historical document" excuse, everything must fall under this category. I have read the document, and tried to think of it as a pre 9/11 memo. I have no training in government intellegence, yet I found more than enough information within to at the very least, create a sense of urgency. It would seem the issue here is the lack of action those with the information were putting forth.
Hindsight may indeed be 20/20, but forsight was the missing element in this case. I have never been Dem/Rep but have always been independent. I still remember my disgust at Mr. Clinton and his sexual actions while in office. That was nothing compared to my current dismay with our administration.
Both partys are responsible for the failures that led to the tragedy of 9/11, but Clinton is not the president, and cannot be held accountable for the mistakes.
It is human nature to find blame for failure, and the larger the failure the more intense is the blame. In my opinion this is a very cut and dry example of failure to act, and there is only one logical place to set the blame.
The fact that this administration has pointedly attempted to impede this investigation, to me only solidifies that blame. Here is a little 20/20 hindsight for ya'.
If the information we will be privy to, over the next few months was made availible in 2002, and the administration had been honest about the obvious communication and intelligence failures, we would need no investigation and could be focused on the real issue. Preventing this from happening ever again.
Alas we are likely to see they cannot even do this much, be it ever so unfortunate for us all.
