If Clarke hadn't been given lesser responsibilities or fired, then I'd say his superiors were negligent. Clearly Clarke shares Clinton's inability to be honest. My hope is that eventually (sooner the better), enough of the truth comes out so that even the more ardent Democrats/Clinton supporters become so disgusted they can no longer live in their denial about who and what it is they've been defending.
Thank God we survived eight years of their government. How much damage to our national security has been done? As bad as this sounds, maybe we got off lucky that it's only been the attacks of 9/11. Imagine...what if Gore had become president instead of Bush?
