What we (don't) know

The White House meekly links to a WMD Commission report on its front page today without much fanfare. That's probably because the "scathing report" says the spy agencies were "dead wrong" in most WMD judgments and that we know "disturbingly little" about threats posed to us. How comforting.

Update: Even more comforting, the commission recommends a massive bureaucracy called the national counter-proliferation center to help prevent it from happening again.

I imagine this is just one other way to spend tax payers' dollars, and another thwarted attempt at granting the citizens any source of comfort. I would almost rather them come out and be straight with us about how little they know than to keep pressing on with these "Go for the Gold" campaigns. It makes us look even more ignorant -- at that point, the enemy's winning.

Did you notice how insensitive President Bush's remarks were this morning about Terri Schiavo? He used her death as a segway to talk about homeland security...

Did you notice how insensitive J. Mark's comment was? He used Terri Schiavo's death as a segway to advertise for his blog.

I haven't gotten very far in the report, but I'm already going to cry foul: pages 16 and 18 are not properly labeled, "This page intentionally left blank."
