RE NP: from The Guardian

[David Morris]

The first mention of this story which I saw was at Salon.com, and I posted 
it here back on September 13.

Commission warned Bush

They went to great pains not to sound as though they were telling the
president "We told you so."

But on Wednesday, two former senators, the bipartisan co-chairs of a defense 
Department-chartered commission on national security, spoke with something 
between frustration and regret about how White House officials failed to 
embrace any of the recommendations to prevent acts of domestic terrorism 
delivered earlier this year.

Bush administration officials told former Sens. Gary Hart, D-Colo., and
Warren Rudman, R-N.H., that they preferred instead to put aside the
recommendations issued in the January report by the U.S. Commission on
National Security/21st Century. Instead, the White House announced in May 
that it would have Vice President Dick Cheney study the potential problem of 
domestic terrorism -- which the bipartisan group had already spent two and a 
half years studying -- while assigning responsibility for dealing with the 
issue to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, headed by former Bush 
campaign manager Joe Allbaugh.
