Connecting the Dots Post-9/11

We heard a lot of criticism from politicians and editorial page writers on the failure of U.S. intelligence to “connect to dots” to prevent the September 11 attacks. But what about connecting them post-9/11. Gary Schmitt, currently a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, wrote on the limitations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the Weekly Standard in October 2001 and co-authored with William Kristol this editorial in today’s Washington Post. The Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial on the “Beltway furor over last week’s leak of National Security Agency wiretaps.” And Dick Morris gives his take in today’s New York Post.
