Interesting...from the article...doesn't this alone support that Clarke is right? They downgraded the topic all together. Al ============================================================== Stahl said to Clarke, "They demoted you. Aren't you open to charges that this is all sour grapes, because they demoted you and reduced your leverage, your power in the White House?" Clarke's answer: "Frankly, if I had been so upset that the National Coordinator for Counter-terrorism had been downgraded from a Cabinet level position to a staff level position, if that had bothered me enough, I would have quit. I didn't quit." Until two years later, after 30 years in government service. and this As for the alleged pressure from Mr. Bush to find an Iraq-9/11 link, Hadley says, "We cannot find evidence that this conversation between Mr. Clarke and the president ever occurred." When told by Stahl that 60 Minutes has two sources who tell us independently of Clarke that the encounter happened, including "an actual witness," Hadley responded, "Look, I stand on what I said." ============================================================ John, I think we are going to hear more about this. I also think mr bush is going to mattresses so early because he knows that he has a series of problems coming his way in theform of the 9/11 commission, the Plame investigation, etc... Al
