Josh Marshall followed up on his post yesterday on the administration focusing on states in their war on terror. Perle apparently addressed this question directly (though it’s unclear to me just based on Mr. Marshall’s post what conclusion Perle was expressing). He also links to a Newsweek article discussing this very issue. As a policy point, I think this is where I would suggest things can be improved. It seems to me that the 9/11 Commission should maybe focus on this a bit more. Let’s see where this goes.
