The Un-Just
Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. This is sloppy.
RENO NOT FOCUSED ON AL-QAEDA….I haven’t been watching today’s testimony, but CNN reports that Janet Reno told the commission, “I never focused on al Qaeda, because I stood there and watched the Murrah Building (in Oklahoma City) in rubble.”
I’m not sure what the context of that statement was, but it seems like a reasonably frank admission of an obvious truth. It’s too late now, of course, but I still think Bush and Rice would have been better off saying something along these lines all along.
Actually, Reno said “I never focused just on al Qaeda…” (emphasis mine) Makes a big difference, doesn’t it… the omission of that little word?
Kevin Drum, I’m surprised at you. You’re smarter than this. Here’s a clue: If you start an entry about, say, nationally broadcast testimony in front of the 9/11 Commission by writing, “I haven’t been watching today’s testimony,” perhaps you should strongly consider not finishing that post.
