Did we really have no idea 9/11 was coming? Did the commision hide the truth?

You think that's all it is? Boredom in DC so 'something' has to be a story? Just trying to sell copy?

Well, Congress is in recess right now, maybe reporters are digging through their backlog. But think of the time wasted on the baseball steroid scandal this winter. I remember people around here being mildly enraged about the Berger incident. But people don't want to hear (or reporters/editors don't think that people want to hear) about the policies and pissing matches of national intelligence agencies. They want a simple cut-n-dry case of one or two people messing up. Placing the blame on bureacracy is always a good cop-out, because it's boring. News has to be sexy and easy to comprehend these days, or else our ADHD MTV-generation minds lose interest.
