Topic: Politics and Law 10:49 am EDT, Oct  1, 2006

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.
