Clarke's discussion of the difference between the Clinton approach in 99 to the millenium alerts and the Bush approach to the chatter of 01 is both enlightening and, so far, not been challenged in all the motive mongering the Bush attack crew mounts

I heard Clarke talk about the millenium alerts on NPR. As far as I could gather, they had a bunch of meetings and put out a bunch of alerts. Now Clarke says they made a difference, but as the actual LAX terrorist was a nervous and inept terrorist who triggered the suspicions of an alert customs agent, it's frankly unclear to me if all those alerts did anything or not. And what exactly was the difference between the alerts of late 1999 and the alerts of summer 2001? Neither case had specific information, as far as I can see.
