Negligence Per Se?

The Bush Administration has been pushing the statement that blame shouldn't be assessed for 9/11, or that blame should be scattered among several groups or people. I'm not saying that you can blame one person or group for what happened that day, but it sure looks like you can pin negligence on certain people. There may be a reason that the Bush Administration has such a vested interest in making that argument, based on Clinton's testimony before the 9/11 Commission, as reported by TIME:

The most memorable part of Clinton's testimony may turn out to be what he said to his successor. The panel quizzed Clinton in detail about a meeting he had with President- elect Bush during the truncated transition period after the 2000 election. Clinton said he told Bush in that meeting that bin Laden would be his No. 1 national-security problem. Clarke, who recounts this episode in his book Against All Enemies, writes that the incoming Administration found this assessment "rather odd."
