"Your government failed you. Those entrusted with protecting you failed you. †I failed you. †We tried hard, but that doesn't matter because we failed you. And for that failure, I would ask, once all the facts are out, for your understanding and for your forgiveness."

-- Richard Clarke, the first -- hell, so far the only -- grownup in Dubya's administration (which I liberally define as someone willing to admit he's made a mistake) . . .
