The next Rep/Dem controversy?... 'If there's one thing Frank Gaffney doesn't like, it's a liberal Democrat. And if there's one thing he likes even less than a liberal Democrat, it's a liberal Democrat who's messing with national security. So it should hardly be a surprise that Y2K has got Gaffney's goat. The uber-hawk who runs the Center for Security Policy late Monday fired off a spleen-venting fax charging that Bill Clinton is guilty of "dereliction of duty." No, it's not diddling interns and fibbing about it. Gaffney's ire comes from what he believes is the White House's lack of candor and leadership on all things Year 2000. He claims that has caused a desperate situation inside the Defense Department. "The Pentagon is unlikely to be able to ensure the functioning of even its most critical computer systems against the effects of [Y2K]... These risks have been unnecessarily increased by the Clinton administration's unwillingness to date to address this problem frontally and candidly for fear of creating panic, arousing controversy -- and possibly paying a political price for its dereliction of duty," Gaffney says.
