| Richard Clarke: Big Part of Mooreâs Movie âa Mistakeâ |
| 2004-07-01 |
| Via NewsMax, so you know itâs true... :) Former White House terrorism czar Richard Clarke, who served as a principal source for conspiracy filmmaker Michael Mooreâs movie "Fahrenheit 9/11," said this week that the central premise of the film is "a mistake." Um, how about "is wrong" or "is a lie"? In an interview with the Associated Press, Clarke took issue with Mooreâs Saying Mooreâs version of the episode has provoked "a tempest in a tea pot," Oh, that mistake! "After 9/11, I think the Saudis were perfectly justified ... in fearing the possibility of vigilantism against Saudis in this country. When they asked to evacuate their citizens ... I thought it was a perfectly normal request," he explained. In May, Clarke confessed that he and he alone made the decision to approve the flyouts. "It didnât get any higher than me,â he told The Hill newspaper. "On 9/11, 9/12 and 9/13, many things didnât get any higher than me. I decided it in consultation with the FBI.â Clarke told the 9/11 Commission the same thing in March, after first detailing the episode for Vanity Fair magazine last August - leaving plenty of time for Moore to adjust his film to the facts as recounted by his primary source. And he chose not to, despite the facts, further exposing Moore |
