Top CIA Officials Faulted...

CIA report faults top officials for pre-9/11 lapses

A report from the CIA's independent investigator is expected to conclude officials at the highest level of the agency are to blame for pre-September 11 intelligence lapses.

I know that the tsunami coverage is tremendously compelling, and I will not lump the media's obsession with this story, one of the biggest in our lifetime, in with crap like the Michael Jackson case, but it is important not to overlook the fact that important news is still happening here in the United States.

I've said it before...

With the vast majority of the media's attention on the Indian Ocean, I hope someone has their eye on the White House.

If they want to slide a couple of zingers through, this is an opportune time to do it.

The Administration also has a habit of sliding through items that reflect negatively upon them while the media's attention is elsewhere.
