"Bush DID RECEIVE ADVANCE WARNINGS"

Yes, but advanced warnings of what? When? What do you protect? Clarke said the US had been on full alert six weeks before the attack. Why wasn't that enough? Do you hold that alert continually? Without more specific, corrobarated evidence? Without everyone involved going stir crazy at the restrictions? How? Against what? What investigations do you emphasis? Who do you arrest? There's nothing actionable in this briefing. "Beware the ides of March" was a more tangible warning.

In reality this briefing changes nothing. People's reactions to the news coming out of the Commission will remain split along party lines.
