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.
