The 9/11 commission final report has been issued, [keep checking the website, it's not up yet], and I'm headed now to the release, and should have a piece up on this in a few hours. In the meantime, here's a good TNR piece by Alan Wirzbicki on how a former Bush I national security advisor, who crafted this administration's preemption strategy, guided the commission with intellectual honesty, not partisanship. Worth reading. As is the TNR house editorial endorsing the recommendation for the creation of the post of a director of national intelligence.
