Bingo!
And this exposes the true scandal at the heart of Richard Clarke's revelations: Richard Clarke's own mind-set. He was ready to dismiss even the POSSIBILITY of Iraqi involvement, a single day after the attacks. He stood there on 9/12/2001 and told the President that because "Al Qaeda did this", looking for Iraqi fingerprints was unwarranted.
This arrogant, closed-minded man was a menace and I'm just glad he's out of public service.
