The Weekly Standard comes out in favor of an independent investigation of Sept. 11 intelligence failures. As William Kristol and Robert Kagan write: "Vice President Dick Cheney came out swinging, claiming that any criticism, even a call for an investigation of the administration's actions before September 11, was 'thoroughly irresponsible . . . in a time of war.' But he's wrong. It's precisely because we're in a war that we need an investigation to find out where we failed. After Pearl Harbor, there were half a dozen such investigations. Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the first--just after Pearl Harbor." Asking questions, demanding answers, and seeking necessary reforms are not unpatriotic acts, Mr. Vice President.
