<Clarke in fact, in a cowardly way, did not speak up when it might have mattered and deserves a thrashing for it. No death threat, and certainly no death threat because he spoke the truth, which no one, in his right mind, finds terribly credible.......> Not credible? That is hilarious. You will go to any length to avoid the truth about this Administration -- where did you park your credibility? Clarke had a job to do in counterterrorism -- and he did it. Now that he is free to speak publicly he is doing so. And what he saying speaks volumes on the issue of the integrity and competence of President Bush and his "team". That is why you are attacking him -- your interests are 100% partisan politics.

Clarke in fact, in a cowardly way, did not speak up

Quote:
"Clarke is a SES man -- Senior Executive Service, the top tier of the career civil service -- and one who has served seven presidents, five of them Republicans. I can't recall any previous examples of a career executive of Clarke's rank and caliber going so publicly ballistic on a sitting president."

It's all about loyality.

But THEY see now the danger. Kay, O'Neil, Clarke ... all conservative loyalists. But scared to the bones. Insiders.
That's why they talk up.

Because:
"Fears Impacted U.S. Reporting on Iraq"
