A lot of personal attacks on Streisand on this thread

There are more points of fact disputing her idiotic transcription faithfully taken down as dictated by clinton.

As to Rice and Bush being bullied into testifying because of craven liars? No. There has been ample public and private testimony--including from Rice--to refute the odious Richard Clarke and all the chest beating in the world can't change that.

One rejoinder is that this plot was in the works for three or four years, and if Bush should have detected it in eight months, why shouldn't Clinton have detected it in three years? (Of course, "Bush" and "Clinton" are shorthand for the entire defense/security/police apparatus of the federal government. Probably the real failures, if there were any, were at the mid-level of the FBI and in the fact that there were barriers to cooperation between the CIA and FBI.)
