#1 Expect the same in-house handling of Able Danger. Punish the Innocent, Reward the Guilty.

#2 I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm not sure our time is well spent establishing what we already know - that the system failed before 9/11. A public investigation would be as helpful to foreign governments as it would be to us.

I can't imagine a more fitting punishment than to go to bed at night, every night, thinking of all of those people burning to death and jumping from windows because of mistakes you are pesonally responsible for and knowing that for an event this big, history will eventually reveal it. While it would be nice to see a few heads on a pike, and even nicer to know if treason was involved, I don't know if it would be worth the level of information divulged.

Then again.... we the people, have a right to know so we can make sure that the problem has been corrected. I'm not holding my breath. Maybe 30 years from now we'll get the truth.

#3 We don't need a public investigation, but these guys should be whomped. They screwed up royally and should be punished. Especially Tenet. Remember Tenet got the Medal of Freedom, our nation's highest civilian honor. There needs to be more accountability in the middle and upper reaches of governement. Just as it was reasonable for Brown to be sacked at FEMA, so should Tenet have been. This problem starts with George Bush who wants to be everybody's friend, just as did Clinton. I guess the American people are getting what they deserve, but it's not good for the country.
