ARE YOU SERIOUS????!!!! Richard Clarke writing a column for the NYT? The same Richard Clarke who told one story under oath to the 911 commission and then told the opposite story in his book in order to make money? The Times is bad...but they couldn't be that STUPID, could they?
I am not naive, but still my jaw dropped when I read this:
Richard A. Clarke Talks About Writing Regular Column for the 'N.Y. Times'
And check out the premise of this "question" and Richard "Sixty Minutes loved my book" Clarke's answer:
Does Clarke have a view on whether the White House is using special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to punish Judith Miller of The New York Times in the Valerie Plame leak case? I don't know about that, he says slowly, then sounding as if he were talking about himself, adds, but as a general statement they do hold grudges. They do go after people.

Check it out. The media howled for an investigation into the Plame business and now they're going to claim the WH is using it to harrass reporters. And the Times' new columnist agrees with this outrageous accusation. Not that that surprises me.
Yes, his little column will bear watching.
