In an interview with CBS News broadcast Wednesday night, Tom Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey who was chosen by Bush to head the panel, said the attacks could have been avoided. "I do not believe it had to happen," he said in the interview.
Asked whether people should have been fired, he replied: "There were people certainly, if I was doing the job, who would certainly not be in the position that they were in at that time, because they failed. They simply failed."
If Bush was negligent, failed to attempt to prevent these attacks after being warned by the CIA on August 6, 2001, and such negligence resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 American citizens, is he guilty of negligent homicide?
