Watching testimony with 9/11, All,
Does anyone else think it odd that the clinton admin. (Clarke included) is claiming that terrorism was the number one concern, they spent oodles of time on it, yet mum was the word with the press. The only way a person who (would have to be at least moderately interested in news) could have known that bin Laden had declared war on the citizen's of the U.S. was if they happened to see a John Miller ABC interview (5/98).
Would it have been a good idea to alert the world press to how serious clinton was and how serious it was for the U.S.? Terrorism was such an outstanding problem for clinton and company but not even a leak to the press about how serious it was at the time (calling Mr. Clarke).
Where was that bully pulpit I always hear about?
