Ineptitute, from what I understand.

BTW, no building should go up there. What a boondoggle that would be. Who would want to work above the 20th floor on the biggest Terrorist target in the known universe? Perhaps the offices of Homeland Secuity should occupy the buliding, but I don't think it would be profitable to expect many other tenants.

With most of the radio and TV buzz talking about 9/11... why isn't there more attention being paid to the story in today's New York Times Bush Said to Give Orders Allowing Raids in Pakistan. Seems to me that this is a really big deal.

They've begun work, current plan is scheduled to have it complete by 2012.

I do seem to recall a whole lot of "oh, what a naive young child" when Obama said that if Pakistan is where bin Ladin/al Qaeda is and Pakistan isn't helping he wouldn't rule out unilateral action into Pakistan.

I could see the media spinning it that way. But it was Bush's orders.
