"Peach has assured all of us that Clark has claimed specifically that he received a call from the White House on 9/11"That is really strange, because this very article says the same thing- that Clark has claimed specifically that he received a call from the White House on 9/11:
"Clark told the widely watched NBC show Meet the Press June 15 that the pressure to make the link "came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over.And as this article makes clear, Peach wasn't the one lying when she said Clark said this. Clark said this. The article here makes clear Clark was lying when he said this. He did not get a call on 9/11. The call did not come from the White House. And the caller did not pressure him to say anything."I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, `You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.'"
He lied through his teeth.
Yet you seem to want very badly to deny that. Why is that?
And for completeness, here is the entire exchange with Russert:
CLARK: "There was a concerted effort during the fall of 2001, starting immediately after 9/11, to pin 9/11 and the terrorism problem on Saddam Hussein."RUSSERT: "By who? Who did that?"
CLARK: "Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, 'You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.' I said, 'But--I'm willing to say it, but what's your evidence?' And I never got any evidence." ---
