But on CNN, the former head of the 9/11 Commission, former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, called Brennan's remarks "a bit defensive, and that's probably understandable given the circumstances."

Kean said Abdulmutallab "did us a favor" by bringing terrorism back to the forefront.

"We had an administration that's not focused as it should be on terrorism," Kean said, noting the time paid in the past year to initiatives such as healthcare reform and climate change that "distracted" the White House. "They weren't giving this enough attention. It's understandable but unacceptable."

4. I see he didn't mention how the Bush administration ignored nearly all of the recommendations

of the 9/11 Commission, even though they had over 4 years to implement.

5. A thug? Give me a break

This man along with the other members of the Commission brought out the factual account of 9/11. Sure there were small, insignificant problems with the paper, but overall it was spot on.

9. Thank you

I saw the title and clicked on it to post something very similar. To call somebody like Kean a thus is silly bordering on offesive IMHO. Agree or disagree with him, but he is not thug, and definitely just having an R after his name does not justify silly name calling.

10. so you buy this shit?

sounds like another highly partisan republicon to me....do you think Obama has been distracted by healthcare and climate change to the point that he was not focused on terrorism????
