The 9/11 Commission Said National Security Vacancies Were A Problem. Biden’s Pentagon Is ‘Far Worse’ (Jacqueline Feldscher, Defense One)

October 6, 2021

Senate committees this week are considering more than a dozen national security and foreign policy officials in what experts hope is an effort to pick up the pace on a sluggish confirmation process that is dangerous for the country.

Many national-security positions remain vacant nearly nine months into the Biden administration due to a historically slow-moving confirmation process. But quickly getting people on the job after a presidential transition is critical to the country’s safety. The 9/11 Commission Report found that the lack of confirmed national security appointees on Sept. 11, 2001, hurt the nation’s ability to respond to the terrorist attacks.
