#2 Freeh joins a long list of Clarke foes. The list includes Tommy Frank, George Tenet, and there is a glaring reason why Clarke's role in the Bush Administration was diminished.

Don't forget Richard Clarke is a special terrorist advisor for ABC News.

#3 Keep in mind too that NY Slimes published at least 3 commentary pieces by Clarke over the past 18 months.

#4 Lol, CA. All I can say is, well, so what? Nobody made them publish this - much less without the usual lame scare quotes, snide asides, unsourced slurs, etc. that we've come to consider normal for the Slimes. I just found it a bit surprising, that's all. It's okay if I'm surprised and you're not. Have fun - you don't need me to rip 'em a new one, heh. Please do. :)

#5 Franks wrote in his Bio, that he
NEVER recieved even ONE actionable piece of intel from Clarke.

Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen. and General Henry H. Shelton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both Clintoon appointees, saw him as a non asset.. lol.

#6 "during the 1996 campaign and says he could never communicate with the president because "with him, it always seemed to be personal."

And there we have slick Willy's main problem in a nutshell.

#7 Clarke is a supreme tactician and strategist unsurpassed in his understanding of the terrain on which the struggle is waged. He is unequalled in his ability to combat foes and engage in creative asymetrical warfare using all the assets available to him. Probably the finest bureaucratic infighter of his generation. As for national security, a null.
