NRO revisits a 2001 article by Byron York on the Clinton administration's response to terrorism. Perhaps foremost among the things it is useful to remember about the Clinton approach to terrorism is that he seemed to be most concerned about what the post-attack opinion polls had to say about him. It follows that the Clintonista whining about the ABC miniseries "The Path to 9/11" centers around concerns about how the American people, in their rearview mirror, view him. In other words, legacy-obsession in the place of serious reflection on how we perceive and deal with the threat we still face as a country and as a civilization.
