9-11 REPORT
 |
James Joyner | Friday, July 25, 2003 |
Fred Kaplan has a good quickie analysis of the Congressional report on 9-11. The most telling finding–one of little surprise to those of us who pay attention to bureaucratic politics–was that the interagency process and lack of attention to non-core functions within the intelligence agencies was a huge problem.
It should be emphasized, however, that nothing here is evidence that the 9-11 attacks would have been thwarted by more efficient bureaucracy. But major reform has been a long time coming.
