Everyone missed the signs months before 9/11. Yet Clarke is acting like he knew all along. There is a reason why his criticism is so focused on Rice, and it has everything to do with having an axe-to-grind. That's why Rice is in the news much more these days than before. You'd think with all the coverage she is getting, she is the one most responsible for the lapses in intelligence. Meanwhile, Clarke can't keep his story straight, and his criticisms of the Bush administration keep getting wackier by the day. Last week it was "At least Clinton did something about Al Qaeda." Now it's "Star Wars caused 9/11." Now, that's bonkers...you can lead a thirsty man to water, but you can't make him drink but his own spit. Al

Ten, re: because it makes for a much more interesting political story than, say, Kerry's continued anti-Bush diatribes I must have missed those. On the other hand, I'm bombarded every evening by a half dozen Bush attack ads that are total lies about Kerry's voting record. O'Neil and Clarke were Bush guys, part of his "loyal" admin. So is the guy that was forced to lie about the cost of the drug benefit. You can deceive yourself to fit your dogma or you can deal with the truth. What is it, truth or neocon talk show dogma? Imagine that you are a person of intellectual integrity. John

Rice is in the news so much because she refused to testify based on a non existent principle that is horsesh*t. This positioning by the Bush administration was a political blunder..........seemingly every one knows it but you. Its something they could have gotten away with two years ago but not now. Americans are making them accountable now and they don't like it. ted
