Back in February 2001, six months before the September 11 attacks, Paul Bremer, then the head of the National Commission on Terrorism established by the Clinton administration, told a conference that the Bush administration was not paying attention to the terrorism problem. "The new administration seems to be paying no attention to the problem of terrorism," Mr. Bremer told the Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation, Reuters reports today. "What they will do is stagger along until there's a major incident and then suddenly say, `Oh, my God, shouldn't we be organized to deal with this?' "

[Bremer's 2000 testimony to Congress was dead on target as well].

I am glad this is getting wider play. But I do believe the blogosphere had this first, more than a week ago.
