Hamilton was a member of the House when I was there. He was respected by all, including Republicans. I have not been surprised at all by his performance on the 9/11 commission. And of course he was Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Most important, though, is his integrity. He can be counted on to tell the truth. It is impossible to imagine him using "Slam dunk!" the way Tenet did.

When I think about staff and cabinet I can't help but see an erie similarity between "the best and the brightest" who got us into Vietnam (and needed an old curmudgeon like Clark Clifford to turn things around) and the present crowd, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, et al. But Johnson listened to Clifford. Bush probably wouldn't. Even if he had one.
