WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In August 2002, then-White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke told reporters that the Bush administration -- from day one -- told him to "vigorously pursue" the Clinton administration policy that allowed the United States to kill Osama bin Laden if the opportunity arose.

Did you all know that our FR Kristenn went outside the Commissioners meeting during lunch break and passed out copies of the Fox "interview"?

One person CAN make a difference.......First Jim Rob/FR, now, Kristenn,..... How can we thank them? Get involved!

[Freedom2specul8]

Could it be? They listened to you? {{::applause::}}

[HarryCaul]

Well, honestly, you can't expect CNN to give Fox credit. I mean you can, but it ain't gonna happen.

I don't understand Kerrey lashing out at FNC today. Even if Dick was just doing his job that gives him no immunity from questions of the character of a man who would later make the charges he has. I am beginning to believe that Clarke, like Wilson, are the males equivalents of the kind of females Carville said one attracts when waving money in a trailer park. I wonder if Clarke will get a spread in Vanity Fare too.

I just posted the same thing..saw the thread from earlier.. :D

Well, you see, Lesley ... my fingers aren't crossed, so I'm obviously not lying.

[CedarDave]

They may be reporting it, but not very hard. The headline still remains Clinton was tough on terror, Bush was not. The media are BASTARDS!

[hoosiermama]

They made him look like an opportunist who was making money on the expense of the Commission...Clark was apparently transparent.

I don't understand Kerrey lashing out at FNC today.

The facts of the earlier press briefing by Clarke makes a liar out of another DemonRat hero.

[hoosiermama]

OOOps! Must have been busy "spell checking"!

[Rome2000]

Clarke ought to do the honorable thing like Admiral Boorda did.

[MamaLucci]

Mr. Clarke made assertions that we have said are flat-out wrong, and it's important for the American people to have the facts," McClellan said. "Mr. Clarke certainly decided on his own to go ahead and reveal conversations that were considered private previously."

You listening, Mr. Kerrey?

[socal_parrot]

Larry King- So Dick, now that you're retired, what's on tap? A little golf? Fishing?

LOL! Good one Meek.
At the minimum, Simon & Shuster should
reclassify his sorry book to "fiction"
or maybe "fantasy."

Leslie Stalh is an utter disgrace.
Ditto for 60 Minutes.

[Right_in_Virginia]

The media are BASTARDS!

True. But, gratefully the mainstream media is also stupid.

[hoosiermama]

Maybe he thought it was Fox news doing the distributing, and didn't realize a freeper was working???;^).

[HarryCaul]

I'm curious, what major pieces of legislation has Kerry authored that became enacted? Any useful links on that? Or is the list short enough to sum up here?

[Rutles4Ever]

Uh oh. Whoever's running CNN now is a freakin' genius.

Part 1 Eye candy. Headline News is unbelievable
Part 2 Breaking news. That's the declared strategy.
Part 3 A more "balanced" approach. Throwing out the odd
GOP bone where none existed.

FOX better get rid of Cosby and Geraldo, quick. CNN wants to put on a serious face...if Larry King gets canned in favor of Laura Ingraham... I might have to start watching.

[ElephantMan]

Do you think C BS will cover the story?

No kidding. Or ABC?

Anybody catch that clip Drudge played Sunday night? Peter Jennings isn't biased, right? Okay. The clip made me laugh out loud. Jennings, in his girly-man nasally high pitched voiced that he uses when he's pretending to be fair and balanced while delivering propaganda for the Left, said something like, "The Bush tax cuts are hitting people's wallets this week--but will $3.00 really jump start the economy?"

The propaganda was so blatant, I spit out my coffee...

[hoosiermama]

The answer is a "BIg Zero"! Just like Kerry!
