Post-Terror USA Still Problematic and the Ground Zero Money Trail

Four years and not much done seems like the major prognosis from the 9/11 Commission. A year after the commission ended its inquiry, commission heads Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton went on Meet the Press to slam the government's lack of initiative and gave the White House and Congress "D's and F's" on counter-terrorism reform. While the 9/11 Commission doesn't think they were used as a photo op, per se, they just don't think that much has been done since the report was completed. Read the Meet the Press transcript.

And the Daily News has a series of articles about the money at Ground Zero: From how the federal government allocated funds to how the mob rose again with new schemes. These articles coupled with the 9/11 Commissions words (obvious, yet not something one necessarily thinks about everyday) paint a depressing picture of how little things may have changed.
