Richard Clarke: "I looked at it and it didn't look like a terrorist camp."

Is there a guideline or model as to what a terrorist camp is supposed to look like? Wasn't it possible that they made it look that way to ward off any suspicions as to what was really going on there? This guy is a moron?

"In addition, the Gore Commission on aviation in 96 (after the planes as missiles possibility was already known) was a total quid pro quo for campaign cash--they didn't force the airlines to adopt any new security measures (i.e. cockpit doors) in exchange for money for re-election. None of the Rinos on this heinous kangaroo court committee have (or will) mentioned any of this. What a bleeping joke! "

Obviously, I meant "i.e. fortified cockpit doors"

"F" OFF TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Indy Pendance]

Fox just cut off Clarke to talk about the tapes.

[gswilder]

Why doesn't Gordon get on with it? The R's on this committee are so ineffective. This is going to hit the evening news big time, and be bad for Bush. All the contradictory info we have will never see the light of day.

[Liberty Valance]

Clarke likes the sound of his own bluster. CBS and Simon & Schuster can really pick'em. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did in the Bush Admin.

[Just mythoughts]

FOX just left the hearing, playing the "background" clip of him again.

[Peach]

You're quick - thanks for all of us.

[tractorman]

You’re right that Clarke is reading Hillary’s script but somehow I get the feeling that it’s a “read it or else” type of recitation.

Don't open that Newbie guy's link. It's a virus!

Abu Nidal....didnt pose a threat...

On CNN

[Shepster]

"At least this guy, while egomaniacal is fairly intelligent."

Well, Ted Bundy was very intelligent too. Jeez???

[texasbluebell]

He was not similarly upset about the lack of action when we had ACTUAL TERRORIST ACTIONS that killed Americans during Clinton's years.

I'm still trying to understand all these years later, why nothing was done about WTC I...it's beyond me.

[CedarDave]

ABC News just highlighted his mea culpa and repeated the lie that terrorism was not a high priority in the new Bush Administration before 9/11.

I'm so mad I could spit nails!!

[Indy Pendance]

They're going back. I like that fox interupted for a FACTUAL report. Compares and contrasts this silly 'testimony'.
