I just have one question. How does one crawl out from "under" a hole? Just curious.
An element of this article that was worthy of its own article...
Clarke took issue with some elements of documentary-maker Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911." The movie depicts how the Bush administration allowed Saudi nationals and members of Osama bin Laden's family to leave the United States days after the Sept. 11 attacks.The Saudi nationals were not allowed to leave until the FBI cleared them of posing any danger or having any knowledge of Osama bin Laden's whereabouts, Clarke said.
"This has become a tempest in a tea pot," Clarke said. "After 911, I think the Saudis were perfectly justified ... in fearing the possibility of vigilantism against Saudis in this country. When they asked to evacuate their citizens ... I thought it was a perfectly normal request."
Clarke added that while he agrees with many things Moore stands for, making this incident a big part of the movie was "a mistake."
Now that the antiAmericans have held their rallies in France and at other prominent screenings of F911, the criticism that we always knew were there can see the light of day. I finally heard a sound bite of an interview with Ray Bradbury over Mr. Moore's hijacking of his classic novel, Fahrenheit 451.
I suppose that the media will see fit to question President Kerry about his Vietnam injuries and his post service Vietnam War activities after he is elected. Don't bother to let people hear the criticism BEFORE they make a decision to give their support.
He's out of a government job as long as Republicans hold the Whitehouse.
But, if a democrat ever gets back into the Whitehouse, then he's up for CIA director. He's job interviewing for whomever for whenever?
A more liberal audience would be hard to find ... inviting Clarke to speak at their convention makes perfect sense.
