"No.....not ignore....but certainly not treat as if written on stone tablets...If Clarke was so great why did HE not get Bin Laden????"

I agre.. no stone tablets for anyone

as for Clarke getting Bin Laden...wow, if you read his book (granted, he may be gilding the lilly a bit), he outlines the discovery and recommendation steps he and his department took in both the Clinton and Bush administrations. Richard himself was not operational, so don't think he could be expected to pull the actual trigger on Usama.
