The tragedy of 9/11 was the fault of terrorists, not the Bush administration. Nevertheless, I do believe there was a failure of our intelligence gatherers to get the information that might have led to its prevention. Maybe even worse than not getting all the intelligence was the failure of the various agencies to share what they did have and cooperate with each other. There was also the issue of underlings reporting information that was ignored at higher levels. I do not want anyone to be tried for this, but I would like to know whether and to what extent this situation has improved.
