Just FYI regarding Clarke:
According to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Clarke gave the final okay for the members of the bin Laden family living in the United States to fly to Saudi Arabia on September 14, 2001. Clarke had initially claimed, under oath, someone in the Bush Administration had asked for the flight and he consulted with the FBI [2]; later he claimed that he alone authorized the flight. He told reporters, "I take responsibility for it. I dont think it was a mistake, and Id do it again." [3]

That is NOT true; they flew out on the 20th of September from Boston.
He's lying about that, too.
Thank you for posting that Peach.

Now, THAT'S a fascinating bit of information that I hadn't heard about.
