--Let me put a smily face on on this Clarke treatment. Yes its a lie all right. However most of the Sheeple out there watching this probably don't even know who he was. They just see someone in the government - the Bush admin at this point - who is saying the right things. So it makes Bush look good indirectly to the sheeple that don't follow all the details.--
Conversely, Bush would look like an idiot to the sheeple, for keeping the inept Tenet as CIA dir. - this movie is devastating to Tenet.
Tenet was a holdover from Clinton so it looks bad for him more so than Bush. Bush was only in for 8 mths before 9/11. Most people would not expect an incoming Pres to immediately fire the head of the FBI. This movie focuses on terrorism which is only part of the FBI's job.
