E - Have you came across any new articles written by Richard Miniter about the new Richard Clarke? I've been waiting and wondering what he has to say concerning Clarke's about face.

In the meantime, a Q and A Miniter on 'Losing bin Laden' for those who haven't read it yet.

Clinton’s Loss?
How the previous administration fumbled on bin Laden.

No, but it would make interesting reading. I really think the White House is making a big big mistake in not letting Rice testify - it only serves to keep the Clarke stuff front and center in the news. Rice would be a compelling witness for the admin, who desperately needs a compelling witness right now. Unfortunately by not letting her testify to this point, it only assures that any public testimony before the commission at this point will only serve her up as food for a ravenous Richard Bin Viniste and Roemer and Gorelick.

This has been totally misplayed by the White House. I wish Karen Hughes was still running the pr aspects of this presidency. Bartlett, et al, is totally tone deaf.
