Richard Clarke gets an opportunity to explain why Clinton plugged his book, like, twenty times, during that heated exchange with Chris Wallace. (He doesn't seem happy about it. I imagine his phone has been ringing off the hook with talk-show interview requests, which he is not inclined to take.)

Also, I don't think Clarke likes Cheney:

... ham-handed attempts to erroneously link Iraq with the Qaeda attacks ...

And he doesn't like Bush's direction to Hayden:

Particularly troublesome to me ... was the National Security Agency’s illegal wiretapping of phones ...

He also calls out Bush (and Tenet? Goss? Negroponte?):

... also the abandoning of our treaty obligations under the Geneva Conventions by engaging in "alternative interrogation techniques" at the CIA's secret prisons.

He can turn a phrase:

... some in government have been waving the bloody shirt -- scaring voters with the hobgoblin of Al Qaeda to reap political advantage.
