War against terror is a failure, ex-White House official says Charles Burress, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, September 8, 2004 The Bush administration has bungled the war on terrorism, doing little to provide security at home while breeding legions of new enemies abroad, the government's former anti-terrorism chief, Richard Clarke, told a large Berkeley audience Tuesday night. Clarke, who made international headlines last spring when he emerged as the highest-ranking whistle-blower from inside the White House's war on terrorism, painted an alarming picture of a White House still pursuing a losing strategy while America's safety hangs in the balance. "The pool of people who really hate us is so much greater than it was on 9/11 because of this needless and counterproductive war in Iraq," Clarke said to applause from nearly 2,000 people at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach auditorium. On the home front, except for improved airline safety, little or nothing has been done to protect the many other vulnerable targets such as trains, chemical plants, Wal-Marts and financial headquarters, said Clarke, who served as counterterrorism czar under both Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. continued......... sfgate.com

The thing about Kitty Kelly is, she's meticulous about facts, and has them checked and rechecked. She doesn't want valid lawsuits. The mainstream press won't republish her revelations until they fact-check them themselves, which they WILL do. I think in a month or so, we'll start to see Kitty's allegations mirrored in the mainstream press, the network news programs, newsmagazines etc, as their fact-checkers vet them. We'll see them on cable news before that. Huge piles of delicious Bush dirt, right before the election!
