John, As for the truth of his claims, neither of us knows. Have you talked with either GWB or Prince Bandar lately to see who signed off on all this? Thought not. This is the same as: We also don't know anything about Kerry beating his first wife or abusing her psychologically. None of us know for sure what went on as long as the papers are sealed. Have you talked with either of them? Thought not. Its called making an accusation on the cheap or as Win put it on another thread - 'a cheap high school debating trick'. As for the 'right wing attack machine', yes there was some over the top stuff during the Clinton years, but Bush was not involved and I don't remember the RNC standing behind fringe elements. Rather they stood behind Bob Dole. Maybe thats the lesson - moderation doesn't work. John

As for the truth of his claims, neither of us knows. Reminds me of the "I saw him spit it out" joke. Laywer is cross-examining an eyewitnesses in a case involving a fight in which the plaintiff's ear had been bitten off. He's brilliant, making the eyewitness admit that it was dark, that he was 40 feet away, that he didn't know the plaintiff or the defendant, that he didn't see him bite the ear off, etc. "How do you know my client bit the ear off, then?" "I saw him spit it out." Clarke is the eyewitness--he said he solely approved the flights on his own volition, after consulting with the FBI. He's no friend of W. Why would he waste an opportunity to give W the business?
