Sept. 11 panel: U.S. remains unprepared
A teaser-
WASHINGTON -- Time, money and ever-present terror threats have done little to close gaping holes in the nation's security system, the former Sept. 11 Commission said Monday in accusing the government of failing to protect the country against another attack.
The panel cited disjointed airplane passenger screening methods, pork-barrel security funding and other problems in saying the Bush administration and Congress had not moved quickly enough to enact the majority of its recommendations of July 2004.
"We're frustrated, all of us - frustrated at the lack of urgency in addressing these various problems," said Thomas Kean, a Republican and former New Jersey governor who was chairman of the commission.[/teaser]
Well saw how unprepared they were with Katrina, so this comes as no surprise. Iguess this was more "W" all talk no action? Very disturbing report. Especially the five "F's" section.
