WASHINGTON - The vice chairman of the Sept. 11 commission gave the federal government a "mixed grade" Friday on its performance in following through on recommendations the panel made to improve America's security.
"We're getting better at this," said commission co-chairman Lee Hamilton, a former congressman from Indiana. "But we still haven't proved we are safe."
Hamilton, a Democrat, said the series of terrorist attacks in London on July 7, followed by less-serious bombings this week, demonstrated that in the war on terrorism, "the enemy is patient, they are skillful. Sometimes they make mistakes. They're very good at exploiting our vulnerabilities."
