Chairman: 9/11 panel findings will surprise
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The chairman of the commission looking into the September 11 attacks said Sunday that some of its findings has surprised him and will surprise the public as well.

Thomas H. Kean also said he expects the commission's final report to be published before the November elections, possibly as early as July, even though the White House must clear it for intelligence problems.

*snip*

"I've been surprised by some of what we've found, and so, I think, (the public) will, yes," Kean said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"We will have things in our report on two ends: first the report itself, second the recommendations. We've got some very serious recommendations to make, and I think they'll be something of great value to the American people and also hopefully will make the country safer."

Interesting. I don't think anything saying, "Bush did all he could and did all the right things" would be qualified as surprising. On the other hand, neither would "Clinton did all the right things." Am I overly optimistic in thinking that the surprise is that Bush is not the national security giant we (we being the conventional wisdom in the mainstream) thought him to be?

1. you are being optimistic
My prediction: they blame the intelligence gathering agencies (CIA/FBI) and general lack of communication between them.
