He knew that suicide bombers were targetig planes and that they were thinking about flying one into the CIA building.

Oh yeah ... but his version of that (IIRC) is that he tried to tell GWB and Condi about it and they ignored him.

More BS. Rush warned that Clarke would be the hero of this movie ...

Clarke has been criticized by conservatives for suggesting the possibility of a link between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda and after investigation concluding that no link had been established. Regarding Saddam's offer of safehaven in Iraq, Clarke wrote in a January 1999 memo to Sandy Berger that he was concerned that “old wily Usama will likely boogie to Baghdad.” (p. 134)[9] Clarke also made statements that year to the press linking Saddam and al-Qaeda and an alleged joint chemical weapons development effort at the Al Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan.[10]

Probably for all those terrorist attacks he prevented.

I am quite certain that he Clinton administration never mentioned this to the Bush Administration as the Bush Administration said quite credulously that they had no idea, anyone would think or do such a thing.
