Former (i.e., fired) counter-terrorism official Richard Clarke had some harsh words for President Bush this weekend on 60 Minutes, as well as in a forthcoming book. Since credibility is presumably the only reason why he should get such media attention, it's quite important to read via the valuable Power Line a well-linked summary of Clarke's career history and his linkages to the John Kerry campaign.
Their conclusion:
Richard Clarke is a bitter, discredited bureaucrat who was an integral part of the Clinton administration's failed approach to terrorism, was demoted by President Bush, and is now an adjunct to John Kerry's presidential campaign.Posted by Alan at March 22, 2004 12:18 AM
