For those of you who haven't read it yet, I highly recommend Ron Suskind's "The Price of Loyalty." Suskind, through Paul O'Neill, paints a frightening portrait of a White House devoid of any policy discussion and of decisions made solely on political terms. It also shows a White House run by Cheney.

Now Suskind is starting to release documents that O'Neill collected during his time at Treasury. Some of the most interesting, however, are the national security documents. Like this one, which is a memo from Rumsfeld in January 2001, eight months before 9/11. While there is much discussion about missile defense, look and see how often Rumsfeld mentions the threat of terrorism.
