Not that anyone on FR needed to know what a traitorous scumbag little Dick is...I was more interested in the mostly negative comments from those in attendance. This is a liberal arts college in liberal Massachusetts and the article is from a left-leaning publisher. Still, the attendees they quote, with the exception on one moonbat, don't have very good things to say about the man. Hey Dick, your 15 minutes look to be up.

Richard Clarke, the new Scott Ritter: somebody listen to me!

Unfortunately, some people don't want to admit when their 15 minutes is up. This guy needs to get a job.

Dear Mr. Clarke, Thank you for your unsolicited advice, but no thanks. Let me tell you something that perhaps you and your liberal democrats fail to understand about Americans and the Scott-Irish attitude that most who come here acquire. I don't expect my gov't to protect every facet of my life. I don't want to live in a 1984 world with cameras looking at every inch of where we live and our every move. I expect the gov't to protect the big things, like airports, and gov't buildings etc. And I trust our police and firefighters to be there when we need them. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING OUR HOMES AND THE PLACES WHERE WE GO TO SHOP ETC....ALL IT WILL TAKE IS FOR THE TERRORISTS TO STRIKE US THERE ONCE OR MAYBE TWICE AND I GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN MANY MORE TIMES AFTER THAT. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE AMERICANS CARRY ARMS AND WE'RE NOT AFRAID TO USE THEM TO PROTECT OURSELVES. This is why no foreign army or group of terrorists will ever come and try to mess with us on our turf. And this is why our brave men and women are fighting on their turf, to keep them from coming here. Did the Bush administration make some mistakes in the fight against terror? You betcha. He made the mistake of allowing disloyal opportunists like you to remain within his administration AND TO PROFIT from their disloyalty. He should have sacked your sorry @ss the day after he took office. nikos

Someone should ask Mr. Clarke about the terrible threats we face from 'cyberterrorism'.

I don't know anything the rest of you already know with regard to Clarke, but I wonder if this guy's apparent love of self-agrandizement had anything to do with his demise. Not only is this guy disingenuous, but he is also full of himself.

Former Bush official speaks out at BSC

I thought he was excellent," said Phyllis Vincent, 46, of Whitman.

Vincent said her son-in-law, enlisted in the Army, shipped out to serve in Iraq Wednesday.

"I want to know what our real purpose is in Iraq," she said. "We're not there for the reasons" Bush gave before the war

Battle-Axe Mother-in-Law ALERT.

And shouldn't the headline be "Former Clinton official...."?

"There is no leadership coming out of federal government," he said, to protect the "low hanging fruit" — shopping malls, chemical factories and rail lines — that he believes are within easy reach of terrorists inside the United States.

Well, first of all this is one of the reasons why we have the Second Amendment. We the People have the right (obligation?) to defend ourselves and our loved ones from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Plus, I don't think we as a country have the stomach to turn every public building and facility into an armed camp.
