Personally, I think if a President, his party and the people in charge of the various agencies at the time dont lose their jobs or even face the possibility of losing their job/facing an investigation/whatever when something with the magnitude of 9/11 happens, there is something very wrong. (Last I read NO-ONE got the axe, that might have changed, I dont know. But does it not seem kinda odd to think no-one was held responsible for that?)

And I dont really think comparing 9/11 with your other examples is valid. 9/11 was a HUGE security breach and a massive highly coordinated operation, its just not the same.

So lied on the stand about having a fiddle, big deal...in my book thats still not as bad as the 9/11 fiasco.
