QUESTION: Had the Clinton administration in any of its work on this issue, in any of the findings or anything else, prepared for a call for the use of ground forces, special operations forces in any way? What did the Bush administration do with that if they had? CLARKE: There was never a plan in the Clinton administration to use ground forces. The military was asked at a couple of points in the Clinton administration to think about it. Um, and they always came back and said it was not a good idea. There was never a plan to do that.
ANGLE: So, just to finish up if we could then, so what you're saying is that there was no - one, there was no plan; two, there was no delay; and that actually the first changes since October of '98 were made in the spring months just after the administration came into office?
CLARKE: You got it. That's right.

How could he have been so stupid to think this wouldn't come out?They're not stupid. The damage is done. Most of the media wont even cover this story. And even if they do, the liberals will denounce FOX as part of the right-wing conspiracy and make snide references to a cover-up, or some such tactic. It's business as usual for the Dems.

If Clarke hews tothe current line under oath, does this mean we get to prosecute him for perjury?

Does anyone have CBS's email address?Good luck finding it. It took me about a half hour of poking around the CBS website after the Janet Jackson fiasco at the SB before I could find it.

now how do you get these people in a closed-door session to have this info in order to "cross-examine" Clarke?They're going to break for lunch before Clake testifies. Hopefully they will get copies of the transcript during the break.

He does have it up as a small headline below that doesn't even convey the true meaning of this story.

The level of the National Enquirer would be a step up. CBS has sunk to the level of Pravda, circa 1962.

John: Telling the truth is never a "smear campaign." Jim Angle was able to find the tape and put out a transcript. This Clarke dude who was essentially unknown in the broader public until the 60 Minutes interview has been caught in a very serious lie. It is not a "smear" to report and document that lie. If anything, a deliberate, genuine smear seems to be coming from Clarke and his promoters against President Bush, Condi Rice, and others in the administration.
In these very dangerous times, none of us can afford to suffer mendacious fools like Clarke for a nanosecond. We've got to keep our focus on the real enemy who must be taking great pleasure in the way we're pointing fingers at each other while his minions continue to plot.

Keep us posted to what they are saying at the DUmmy site.Well, they still have this article on their site:
Anger Management
March 24, 2004 · Anger is not necessarily born out of hatred, selfishness, and aggression. It is also born out of our better natures - out of love and compassion for those who are being hurt, out of despair and grief in the face of suffering that is unjust and unnecessary, or in Richard Clarke's case out of a sincere commitment to the country he believes his superiors have betrayed. By The Plaid Adder
I wonder how long that will be there?

Still nothing posted on DU about this. Someone needs to "stir the pile" over there, then.

Forgive my monumental skepticism and cynicism, but it's not likely to be reported anywhere except Fox News, talk radio, internet sources, and non-Leftists newspapers like the Washington Times and the New York Post. All that has to happen is for one of the commission members to ask Clarke, today, to respond to the transcript of his previous statement.
