"Of course the reality is that her hubby still gets national security briefings and he has known for a long time that Iraq had WMDs."

Is this for real? Do ex-presidents continue to get security briefings?

Yes. Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, George Bush 41 and Bill Clinton are briefed regularly.

It is my understanding that as a courtesy, former Presidents do get regular briefings. I am certain it is not as in depth as the sitting president. However, the key to this is likely not knowledge that Clinton has received since leaving office. He knew the truth about Iraqi WMDs while he was despoiling the Oval Office.
