Okay, today the REAL final report came from the artist formerly known as the 9-11 Commission and now called the 9/11 Public Discourse Project. Don't worry about the new name, though. They are closing up shop at the end of the month.
So, bottom line, after four years, and a billion gazillion dollars we are no safer than we were before September 11. While that might be a bit of an exaggeration--frankly awareness is much better and communications among and within agencies, governments and the private sector had no where to go but up, Governor Blanco notwithstanding--the report card would make me beat my kid.
Former Governor Kean (R-N.J.) was, how you say, pissed. So were the rest of the former commissioners. It was a huge indictment of the efforts to make this country safer. Now the question is "what's next?" Hope we find out before we send out the next national 911.
