Did the FAA’s DIE requirements just end sixty-seven lives?

Did the FAA’s DIE requirements just end sixty-seven lives?: I wrote on these pages just over a year ago about my concerns about the FAA’s hiring practices.  They were allowing DIE policy to infect the hiring of air traffic control agents.  Now those hiring policies may have contributed to the deadly midair collision at D.C.’s Reagan National Airport that killed sixty-seven people Wednesday night.
