Senator Daschle and I received the 9/11 Commission report earlier today. It looks as if the Commission did a thorough job and that their writeup is fair and balanced. It is certainly well-documented. Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton deserve our praise for their bipartisan leadership. The Commission did not play the blame game. Rather, they focused on how the United States can learn from past mistakes to make all Americans safer in the future.
