This is a wash for the Bush admin., no matter what angle you look at this from.

Don't be so sure. Look at the AP and Reuters headlines still screaming about Bush admin not taking it seriously. (Check Yahoo!, for example) Remember that we are far better informed than the sheeple and we cannot assume they are hearing the complete story. The mainstream Kerry press will repeat the lie often enough in the next few days that it will stick in a lot of minds. By the time they put out their footnote about oh yes, Clarke lied, the big lie is already planted.

I have to agree with you. It is sort of like spreading a rumor that the well is poisoned. Or even spreading a rumor that a young woman is a slut. It may be disproved, etc, but the impression lingers.
