In 1999, Richard Clarke cited gains against bin Laden; "We've made life difficult for him" The Washington Post Archives \| January 23, 1999 \| Vernon Loeb Approximately 2 years before USS Cole was attacked, Richard Clarke boasted of counterterrorism gains made against bin Laden, and how bin Laden had been made all but impotent thanks to him and Clinton in this 1999 article from the Post archives: ************************************************************************ Richard A. Clarke, who occupies the recently created post of national coordinator of counterterrorism and computer security programs, also said U.S. officials do not believe that bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire now living in the mountains of Afghanistan, has acquired chemical or biological weapons despite his contacts with experts in the production of nerve gas and biological toxins. "I think we've made life extraordinarily difficult for [bin Laden], but he's still there," Clarke said. "I think it is very difficult for him and his lieutenants to travel. I think it's very difficult for them to raise money or move money or move explosives." ------------------------snip------------------------ Assessing U.S. counterterrorism policy to date, Clarke said it's no accident that there have been so few terrorist attacks on American soil. "The fact that we got seven out of the eight people from the World Trade Center [bombing], and we found them in five countries around the world and brought them back here, the fact we can demonstrate repeatedly that the slogan, `There's nowhere to hide,' is more than a slogan, the fact that we don't forget, we're persistent -- we get them -- has deterred terrorism," he said.
