Which Report?

Oh that report. Daniel Drezner provides links to the report, the executive summary, and good early coverage here.

I'm going to give myself a chance to read through the material before I make any pronouncements that are difficult to take back. As far as I can tell, the two most salient facts to emerge from the 9/11 Commission inquiries are 1) that both the Clinton and Bush administrations had the means to prevent the 9/11 attacks and failed to do so, and 2) Iran has some sort of relationship with al-Qaeda, and is on the verge of becoming a nuclear power.

These are not exactly comforting thoughts, so I'm sort of incredulous about the sunny spin the press is giving to the report. Both presidential campaigns are claiming that the report vindicates their candidate's position, which means at least one of them is deliberately obfuscating.
