That post 9/11 mentality

One thing the White House has clearly learned in the post 9/11 world is the importance of memos having a good clear title with a straight message:

the [CIA] proposed "factual corrections" to assertions included in a draft fact sheet prepared by the White House titled "America Is Safer Without Saddam Hussein."

Because, after all, in the pre 9/11 world, memos went around the upper levels of the White House with vague titles like "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" and "Islamic Extremist Learns to Fly."
