9-11 comissioner Tom Kean on yesterday’s MTP:

When we say we want to reform intelligence and change it fundamentally, making this restructuring of government one of the largest in history, we think that’s pretty major. We have to remember that we know we’ve got this problem with the military. But more people died on September 11, double the number that have died so far in Iraq. I mean, we are facing very serious problems on the home front here, and we believe the kind of recommendations we’ve made, the kind of criticisms we made in the report are valid and that, therefore, changes have to be made to protect us all.

I hope he just misspoke. I hope he’s not really under the impression that more innocent people died on 9/11 than in Bush’s “shock and awe”-ing of Iraq.

I hope a lot of things.
