Why Wouldn't Clarke be Credible?
"Frankly, I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We'll never know...I think he's done a terrible job on the war against terrorism." - Richard Clarke, former top counter-terrorism advisor to G. W. Bush. Read the transcript of his interview on 60 Minutes yesterday.
The Bush administration is trying to paint its former top officials as illegitimate simply because they've left the Administration, without the implication being that the Administration itself is comprised mostly of illegitimate policymakers (get it?). This is all part of another "us and them" smearing policy - you're trustworthy if you're "in" and illegitimate if you're "out." But, it is perfectly fair for those concerned about Bush and his policies to construct an image of the Administration out of the descriptions provided by Clarke and O'Neill. And it ain't a pretty picture at all.
Read on. Also read George Smith's scathing rebuke of Clarke, accusing him of being obsessed with "internet attacks" while ignoring physical threats.
