Don't Look Back. Don't Admit Mistakes. Don't Learn.

The 911 commission reveals that FBI agents in Arizona and Minnesota were suspicious of Arab flight students, but their superiors ignored the warnings. Okay, what’s done is done. But this information is valuable in helping to build an intelligence system for the new millenium. I don’t entrust that to an administration that refuses to admit its shortcomings and mistakes. The Bush administration’s never-look-back approach to decision making is not in the best interests of the U.S. We need an administration that will use intellect and cunning, as well as brute force, to create an intelligence infrastructure that will proceed with the long job of dismantling terrorism. Senator Kerry, with his long history of working in Congress, that relies on consensus and team building, is better suited to tackle this new challenge.
