Dan at Contrapositive wants to know why Condi Rice wasn’t aware, even after 9-11, about systematic al-Qaeda efforts to use airplaines as missles: intelligence that had appeared in several newspapers.

Maybe Brad DeLong and Matt Yglesias are right: an expert on Soviet civilian-military relations might be a less than optimal choice as National Security Adviser.
