Yes we have not had another Sept. 11th. but are we any safer now?

Congress established the 10-member, bipartisan commission in 2002 to investigate government missteps that led to the 9/11 attacks. It issued its findings — that the United States could not protect its citizens from the attacks because it underestimated al-Qaida — in a sweeping July 2004 report.

But since then, any sense of urgency by Congress and the Bush administration to safeguard key national vulnerabilities has dissolved or gotten tangled up in turf wars, the former commissioners said.

The group now operating as the 9/11 Public Discourse Project began a series of hearings in June to examine what it described as the government's unfinished agenda in the campaign to secure the country. It will issue a report Monday grading the government's overall response to its recommendations as well as assessing Washington's performance on each of a dozen potential problem areas.

"This is an end-of-the-game summary," said former Republican commissioner Slade Gorton.

Added former Democratic commissioner Jamie Gorelick: "No parent would be happy with this report card."

A spokesman at the
Homeland Security Department declined comment until the report is issued. Spokespeople at the House and Senate homeland security committees had no immediate comment Friday.

Give them time to crank out the propaganda, they will respond.
No Comment, No Comment, No press conferences by the White House, un-scripted replys are out. No questions, we do not do questions by the American People in this White House.
In this White House they take "working Vacations" but they do not do press conferences.
