Not trying to PROTECT you!

Remember the Chimperor Disgustus (oh a new nickname!) promising to implement the findings of the 9/11 Commission?

In fact, Bush & Kerry battled throughout the Fall of 2004 over who would implement the recommendations most vigorously, each claiming they would. Kerry lost the election, but apparently would have won the implementation battle in a walk in an alternative universe (you know the one you want to live in).

From the New York Times:

The members of the Sept. 11 commission will sharply criticize the Bush administration and Congress this week in a new, privately financed report expected to single out the F.B.I. as having failed to act on many of the panel's recommendations to protect the nation from terrorist attack, members of the bipartisan panel and its staff said.

They said the report, scheduled for release on Thursday by a private educational group created by the 10 former commissioners, will also criticize the White House as not doing enough to defend civil liberties and privacy rights as it expanded the government's surveillance powers after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. A civil liberties oversight board created by the White House earlier this year is toothless and underfinanced, some of the commissioners said.

A Democratic member of the commission, Timothy J. Roemer, a former House member from Indiana, said the new "report card" would show that the administration and Congress had taken no action on many of the panel's central recommendations, "and we're not going to get many more chances to get things right before the terrorists come at us again."

Mr. Roemer said in an interview that the F.B.I. would be criticized because it "has talked about well-intentioned reform but has not delivered it."

"We still need to see a big change in that culture," he said.

Do you really think they give that much of a shit?

Better just start praying, or stocking up on duct tape.
