Remember the flap over the shootdown order supposedly coming from him and not the President?

And Mary Matalin was there... there is now way she would allow Clarke to trump Cheney either!

I hope others will be able to add more photos from the bunker. Richard Clarke's "hero" status in the bunker...well actually throughout the movie, needs to be de-bunked before it becomes urban legend.

I think Al Haig gets a bad rap for that, if you listen to his entire statement instead of it being taken out of context, it's much hyped. :)

The ABC movie Part Two had two overall purposes:
1—Trash Tenet
2-Sell Richard Clarke
To: YaYa123
Dick Clarke was in charge........I saw the Movie!
To: YaYa123
If anyone should be happy about the way they were portrayed in the "Path to 9-11" its Richard Clarke.
Thanks for this story. I wouldn't mind Cheyne as president.
To: YaYa123
After the planes struck the twin towers, a third took a chunk out of the Pentagon. Cheney then heard a report that a plane over Pennsylvania was heading for Washington. A military assistant asked Cheney twice for authority to shoot it down. "The vice president said yes again," remembered Josh Bolton, deputy White House chief of staff. "And the aide then asked a third time. He said, 'Just confirming, sir, authority to engage?' And the vice president -- his voice got a little annoyed then -- said, 'I said yes.'"
It is hard to imagine having to give that order. I am actually a little surprised that it wasn't the President who would have been asked.

BUSTED! From Who's Hot to Who's Not in record time!
To: YaYa123
Amazing! Not ONE word about Clark in there with them! HA!

Lol, It is like Richard Clarke's press agent wrote the script.
To: msnimje
Yup, I think that was him........Condi froze in front of the TV sets and he did all the work. She begged him to take charge!
To: Pete from Shawnee Mission
In a way I agree. Clarke came off rather well. At worst someone who made mistakes but overall knew what he was doing.
