FEELING SAFER NOW? I don't spend much time on national politics here unless there's a direct Cleveland angle, but in this case I'll make an exception.

Here's Chapter 8 of the 9/11 Commission Report, entitled "The System Was Blinking Red".

The Kerry campaign should be passing out copies of this chapter as a talking book.

Yeah, yeah, I know, Clinton screwed up too. But Clinton isn't on the ballot this Fall. Bush and Cheney (and Rice, and Rumsfeld) are.

So just read it. Thank you.
