More Defense for the White House?

Have you noticed how the White House has constantly repeated the theme that terrorism should be viewed as a "law enforcement" issue since 9/11? Well, that may be because, before 9/11, the Bush Administration Justice Department didn't make fighting terrorism a priority.

According to Newsweek online:

Next week, the panel is slated to hear from Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Janet Reno, and two former FBI directors, Louis Freeh and his interim successor, Thomas Pickard. People close to the commission are expecting a bitter confrontation between Pickard and Ashcroft. Pickard is expected to scorch Ashcroft for showing little interest in terrorism before 9/11, NEWSWEEK has learned. The A.G. denied proposed funding increases for FBI counterterrorism programs. Ashcroft is expected to say that Pickard could have shifted resources if he thought it was so important.
