Tutto questo non ha assolutamente senso.
Nello spiegare perchè il lavoro della commissione stia stravolgendo la realtà, le priorità e le responsabilità dell’11 settembre Jeff Jarvis è sempre stato il più lucido. Qui lo dimostra ancora una volta: That is the logic of the 9/11 Commission. They would expect government to turn America into a cocoon. They would expect the impossible. And they are holding government to that impossible standard. This is not to say that we cannot learn many lessons from 9/11 and do many things better when, God forbid, we are attacked again. But that's not what the Commission is doing. Instead, it is using "mistakes" of 9/11 to beat up many in power, from the Bush Administration down to the NYPD. By that logic, we should be applauding the Patriot Act and a government commission should be recommending a Constitutional amendment to take away any ambiguity and allow government to spy on, hunt down, capture, question -- and, yes, even strip naked and mock -- terrorists. But we don't want that, do we? The 9/11 Commission has perverted its work and, in my view, committed the unpardonable sin of politicizing 9/11 and turning the attacks of mudering terrorist nutjobs into a litany of things we did wrong, things that are our fault. No, 9/11 is the fault of murdering terrorist nutjobs and the only solution to this is to hunt down and capture or kill every one of them we can find wherever we find them -- yes, even in Saudi Arabia, even in Iraq, even in Pakistan, even in New Jersey. I wish I heard the Commission giving us a few more suggestions about how to do that. Vale anche per il NYT. |
