I heard a tape on a local radio show with Dr. Rice talking about UBL in an Oct. 2000 tape. I noticed that she didn't mention Al Qaeda. Maybe she did elsewhere in the interview, but she did not in the excerpt I listened to. If she knew the depth of the evil UBL represented, and she obviously did, then I'm sure she knew all about Al Qaeda. What this indicated to me is that someone had parsed public statements very carefully and coached Clarke to write his words very Clintonesquelly. Note that he did NOT accuse Rice of not knowing about AQ; it was his impression. Who can dispute that? He can't be accused of lying b/c who can dispute impressions? But he leaves the impression of Rice's incompetence and that sticks because she's still NSA and we're in an election year.

I personally think that the sinking of Pres. Bush's second term has seriously been in the works since Dec. 2000. Who has the most motive to derail this commission? Clinton and his ever-elusive legacy. So I assume that he carefully sought a holdover in this administration with an ax to grind and brought him on board. I'm sure that Clinton has known from 9-11 that his complicity in our nation's lack of security would be examined and that he set out to attack whatever anyone may find. Even though his negligence is becoming clearer, he knows that the Bush adm. has the most to lose. So all he has to do is throw some dirt out there to cloud the total picture. We need to be vigilant and expose the truth.

See the thread Did I just hear Hannity bop Clarke over the head 2000 Condi interview???

There is an audio clip in post #12. I was beginning to think last night that the Dems have been handing out Thorazine at their meetings...they sure are shuffling around this commission thing now on the talk shows. All of a sudden after finger pointing at Bush for so long, they are resorting to "Oh, we should not point fingers, there is enough blame to go around".
