See Bill Press article and John Huang2's comments here:

Let us all now praise Richard Clarke (CLARKE KNEW! Not.)

Will need to go to the WorldNetDaily link for the complete comments from Bill Press.

It starts this way:

Bring all your kids and pets inside. Close the drapes. Lock the doors. The Bush attack dogs are on the run again.

George Bush turns them loose every time someone dares stand up and tell the truth about the administration. He sicced them on financial adviser Larry Lindsay for telling the true cost of the war in Iraq; on government actuary Richard Foster for telling the true cost of the Medicare bill; and on CIA operative Valerie Plame, when her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, told the truth about yellowcake from Niger.

Now the Bush attack dogs are out to destroy Bush's own former counterterrorism czar, Richard Clarke, who – in testimony before the 9-11 Commission and in his new book, "Against All Enemies" – dares tell the truth about Bush's failure to take terrorist threats seriously prior to Sept. 11.

Was Clarke sworn in before to committee? Did he contradict previously sworn testimony?

House Intelligence Chairman Porter Goss (R-Fla.) said Wednesday that former White House anti-terror czar Richard Clarke, the author of a new book critical of President Bush’s handling of the al Qaeda threat before Sept. 11, 2001, may have lied in testimony to his committee, and said he plans to explore whether Congressional action on the matter is warranted.

It's about time. I mean, for three years now, the Bush administration has been leaning over backwards to be civil to these animals and all they've ever gotten for it is being sh!t on.

On this one, it will be a Congressman, Porter Goss, and not the White House, going after the guy. I bet they do it-----this situation more amazing and brazen than you can imagine

I agree. There are things happening here below the surface, and the RATS are gonna regret going down this pathway.

[Ann Archy]

I have a LOT of faith in Porter Goss.

You can see their plan by reading the Bill Press article ---post#81.

My take on Clark is that of a typical bureaucrat full of bluster and hype to get ahead in the bowels of govt,but incapable of action. I believe he quit to deflect criticism of the job he did as the point man for counter terrorism.
