Long time lurker, first post: I know you all don't watch much Nightline, but I watched it tonite and Richard Clarke was on and what he said may be interesting for this discussion. His biggest point was that Bush failed to "get personally involved" in the terrorism issue after being warned a strike was coming, unlike Bill Clinton who got really involved and serious after he was warned about the millinuem threat! Can you believe it? Clarke was adamant that Clinton responded forcefully and intensely to the Y2k threat, and then by extension, that Bush dropped the ball.

I think this is the centerpiece of the Clinton Legacy project that these people are engaged in, so if those drafts show ANYTHING to the contrary, then these guys really are ruined, because it will be black and white they perpetrated a charade and it was they who were cavalier and political and shameless in refusing to address the terrorism threat appropriately. No doubt that Richard Clarke, by appearing on Nightline with his curious take on things, has demonstrated he is also at the center of this. I just couldn't believe that his main point dealt directly with the issue reflected in the missing Berger docs and that this incredible link wasn't even noticed by Nightline - it just made me so mad I had to register and tell y'all.

Thanks for your post. I had heard Clarke was going to be on Nightline but I just couldn't bring myself to watch him.

Did Nightline disclose that he is their paid consultant now?

His biggest point was that Bush failed to "get personally involved" in the terrorism issue after being warned a strike was coming, unlike Bill Clinton who got really involved and serious after he was warned about the millinuem threat!

I think you may be on to something there; when they wrote those reports and even when they had to move them to the Archives, they had no idea that 9-11 would happen....and people might check those reports!

What a great report of what you witnessed. Believe me, we all appreciate the sacrifice you made so we could all be informed.

I secod the nomination of burrian as official Freeper monitor of Nightline (unless you think you can't take it on a steady basis)

In addition to your notes, your assessment that Clarke is in the thick of it is spot on. He's the author of the drafts that were taken.

What a spectacular first post! Welcome to FR and many thanks for your service to the caused.Most of us stopped watching NIGHTLINE many years(if not decades) ago.

Clark,Wilson,Berger,the Clintons,and many more,are neck deep in this muck and mire.
