Colleague of Ex-Official (Clarke) Disputes Part of Account

NY Times ^ | March 30, 2004 | DAVID E. SANGER

[FairOpinion]

Clarke is telling outright lies and thinks people will believe him, and I guess some do.

But I am glad people keep coming out and refuting and debunking his lies.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for posting these articles! I am pinging the Bush-Cheney '04 list in the middle of the night because we all need to see these articles.

Someone called my cell phone, woke me up, and then hung up so I am up in the middle of the night!

Everyone, please pass this around! Even the NY Times is beginning to get it!

I think Al Haig and Dick Clarke must be the same person.

[BJClinton]

The official, Franklin C. Miller, who acknowledges that he was often a bureaucratic rival of Mr. Clarke

If this story make the mainstream press, the bold type above will be the most emphasized.

[tessalu]

I think that Clarke is so low that he would bring down his own country if he could. I am ashamed of him, and in no way would I buy his book.

I'm not sure if his angle is "anything for a buck" or "anything for my party". I'm trending towards the former.

[dasboot]

Yeah, they get it.

Tomorrow: Clarke Working for Bush 2004. Plot to Discredit Kerry. Double Agent, Dirty Tricks. Kennedy Demanding Hearings.

C'mon...if he's royally outed, they just blame Bush.

As I said last week, this guy has no friends. Totally expendable. His publisher will sue for contractual damages. HE'S FINISHED, I tell ya!

[NYCVirago]

It's pretty clear Clarke is a drama queen, just from these tidbits from his book. Miller's explanations seem much more realistic.

France has elevated their threat level from "run" to "hide"

What happened to "Duck"? As in ... "Run,....Duck,.....Hide..........Whooop! Woooooo Woooo wooo wooo" Ala the Three Stooges.

You shouldn't be dissing Haig like that.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

The only thing that the Times "gets" is that their credibility is on the line - yet again.

I want to read this book. It sounds like the most exciting work of techno-fiction since Tom Clancy's "Op Center".

Unfortunately, I called the SF Public Library today and they said every copy they have is reserved for the next six months - and I'm not buying it.

[Fledermaus]

Haig is my odds on favorite for being "Deep Throat". He'll stab you in the back if you cross him.

[squidly]

We agree on that.

[Ruth A.]

I've had that thought, to. Though, I must admit, Al Haig had some pretty good statement recently.

I just posted an article from Weekly Standard, April 04 Issue, that has a direct quote from Clark's book and one from Syd Blumenthal's book and their almost word for word. I smell the Clintons hand in the Clark outage....wonder how much they paid him.

>>I smell the Clintons hand in the Clark outage....wonder how much they paid him.<<

They pay in book sales. Large blocks of books are bought and never sold. My more cynical nature questions whether the books are really manufactured or if they are just "paper" books.

Good idea to ping your list, too many good articles get wasted by night posting.
