"Frankly, I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism," Clarke told CBS. "He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something." Hmmmmmmmm... Apparently it wasn't "*outrageous*" enough to forego getting that 30 year pension socked away and the book to the printers before sharing his "outrageous" news. It seems it lacked sufficient force to merit a word to former Senator Rudman or Senator Bird in the summer of 2003 when they were considering the need for Homeland expenditures. Just last month, former Senator Warren Rudman chaired a task force at the Council on Foreign Relations that examined investments in police, fire, and emergency medical teams.
