When assigning blame for the failure of U.S. foreign and domestic
intelligence, the adverse effects of partisan politics should not be
overlooked.
Indeed, if past administrations and the current administration had taken
heed to terrorist studies, the development of modern terrorism, and
corrected the gross lack of intelligence, instead of being consumed by
campaign modes and distracted by political party posturing, they might have
prevented decades of terrorist acts and the horrific attacks on New York
and Washington. Certainly, Congress must share in the irresponsibility for
its lack of oversight.
Clearly, our government has gotten the blood-stained message and partisan
politics have been set aside to do justice and to protect the United States
and our people. However, there is a simple parallel, that should not have
to be used, that cannot be ignored: Too many people must lose their lives
on dangerous roads and intersections before government acts to make them
safe.
