JohnM, have no particular axe to grind :-) A number of folks make a big deal out of Clarke's unbiased opinions and opine on how he is attacked by the vast right wing attack machine. These same people have consistently denigrated Laurie Mylroie and her theories. Obviously there was no political influence on intel during the Clinton years :-) My own opinion - there probably is a relationship between the 93 bombing, the Oklahoma bombing and Iraq. The trappings of co-incidence are hard to dismiss (or easy if you don't want to think about them). There is probably also some culpability in the current administration into discounting Clarke during the turnover in 01. He was seen as a loser in the terrorist wars (which he was, but that's hardly the point - he was one of the few experts available). John
