#1 Mike, the judge knows what he is talking about. While the 9/11 Commission is overly political and the report is a nauseating exercise in 2nd guessing, the 9/11 event serves as a whetstone to hone our capabilities on. The exercise needed to happen but the country would have been better served is the grandstanding had been jettisoned.

One qualification, if it turns out later that TWA-800 was downed in a terrorist attack, as has been alleged, then the US needs to review the grandstanding that has gone on in the last several years against who knew that we had been attacked and yet still allowed us to get attacked again. The Gore Commission was set up after TWA- 800 to make recommendations to improve airline security. The recommendations were then watered down and implementation dates were removed for items that we have implemented since 9/11.

If TWA-800 was known to be a terrorist attack, then those that knew in Congress and the White House let us down.
