] ``I've ordered this level of cooperation because I ] consider it necessary to gaining a complete picture of ] the months and years that preceded the murder of our ] fellow citizens on Sept. 11, 2001,'' Bush said. You considered it necessary? Or you consider it necessary only after getting your ass handed to you by the media during the last week? Seriously this man so transparent. Why would any vote for him in Nov? [ Agreed. I can only hope that 6 months isn't too long for people to remember this shit. Kerry's ads are gonna have to seriously remind people that this fucker wouldn't have cooperated for SHIT if not for all the bad PR it was causing. I hope they declassify all that Clarke stuff. There's just no possible way it benefits them. He's gonna hand them their ass all over again. -k] Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Bush Agrees to Let Rice Testify Publicly |

] In a riveting television performance, Mr Clarke called on ] his principal critic and former employer, the national ] security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, to release the entire ] record of their emails in the months up to the September ] 11 terror attacks to prove his contention that the White ] House did not then take the threat of al-Qaida seriously. ] ] He also agreed to Republican demands to declassify ] testimony he gave to the Senate two years ago - to ] "prove" there were no inconsistencies. "Let's take all of ] my emails and all the memos I sent to the national ] security adviser and her deputy from January 20 to ] September 11 and let's declassify all of them," Mr Clarke ] told NBC television. [ Calling the bluff. This is Clarke saying "Bring It On." I doubt the administration has anything to gain by exposing the truth here... they've built their entire foundation on mistruths and secrecy. -k] Guardian Unlimited | US elections 2004 | Clarke challenges Rice to reveal secret emails |

"Ordinary individuals, people with good ideas ] will now be empowered to put a flash mob together to ] solve a specific problem." [ Cool idea. That's this saturday... be interested to see what happens. The Top500 guy says they can't lose a single node, or the LinPack computation is shot... i guess that's because they left out fault tolerance in order to obtain low overhead for testing?
