    Security clearance lapses stemmed from Washington’s emphasis on speed over quality

    By Rebecca LaFlure
    Center for Public Integrity

This is what happened when Washington attempted to improve the way its security agencies vetted hundreds of thousands of workers needed suddenly after the 9/11 attacks to pursue counterterror tasks and oversee heightened secrecy requirements.
