      Oval Office Handover Opens Critical Security Gap

      (Newser) - January's transition in Oval Office occupants opens up a national security gap for America's enemies to exploit, Jamie Gorelick and Slade Gorton write in the New York Times . The handover from Clinton to Bush was deeply flawed, the 9/11 Commission members note, with "no effective dialog" between the two. To avoid a repeat, the current nominees should get much more information that they're not being given. More »

      WTC Rebuilding an Emblem of Can't-Do Politics

      (Newser) - We’re having an entertaining campaign season, Daniel Henninger allows in the Wall Street Journal , but the US' fundamental political system is in deep trouble: “It’s an open question whether we have one, or are losing the one we’ve got.” He finds a microcosm in the World Trade Center rebuilding effort, “arguably the greatest political and bureaucratic fiasco in the history of the world.” More »

      AG's 'Invented' 9/11 Claim Is Scare Tactic

      (Newser) - Michael Mukasey’s recent claim that surveillance laws barred eavesdropping on a crucial pre-9/11 phone call is either an attempt to scare up support for spying or a revelation of massive US failure, Glenn Greenwald writes in Salon. The 9/11 Commission never mentioned the mysterious phone call—and the executive director tells Greenwald he has no idea what the Attorney General is talking about. More »

      CIA Withheld Tapes From 9/11 Panel

      (Newser) - The 9/11 Commission made repeated requests to the CIA for details on the interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects and were told they'd been given everything the CIA had, the New York Times reports. A member of the commission reviewed classified records of the panel's work after the CIA said the agency would have turned over the now-destroyed tapes but had never been asked for them. The commission's two chairmen say they are now convinced that the CIA deliberately tried to obstruct the inquiry. More »

      Dems Demand Probe Over CIA Tapes

      (Newser) - Democrats accused the CIA of a cover-up today in the wake of the revelation that the agency destroyed interrogation tapes and called for the attorney general to investigate. Ted Kennedy rejected the agency's excuse that it scrubbed the tapes to protect interrogators and suggested the censors merely knew how “abhorrent” the methods were, the New York Times reports.
