Clarke agrees with Frist!
Richard Clarke has given Bill Frist what he asked for. On NPR's 'All Things Considered,' Clarke has called for declassification of all documents related to the investigation into the attacks on 9/11.
Here's a link to NPR. You can hear Clarke himself saying he'd love for his testimony - all 196 pages of it - to be declassified by clicking on the 'All Things Considered audio' link on the page.
Now watch Frist and Hastert back off, and fast. I'm more and more impressed with Clarke. I may even get out of bed tomorrow in time to watch him on 'Meet The Big Fat Shill Of The White House.'

You know Fox will spin it for all it's worth. We know 2 things for certain!
1. Clarke is telling the truth, if he weren't Cheney wouldn't have been on Limbaugh
2. Clakre has a pair, unlike the Neo- Cons!

Checkmate. I love not only Clarke's challenge to declassify EVERYTHING, but his ominous prediction:
"There's definitely a price to be paid for stimulating this public debate - and I'm sure I haven't even begun to pay the price that the White House will make me pay."
In other words, if we find him face-down in the Potomac, we'll know why.

Yes there is a price to be paid
24.95 for his book

Hacker,
$24.95 is a hell of a lot cheaper than the, what, $150 billion list price for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
By the way, I've already ordered his book on Amazon.

Yeah, good to know so many are willing to pay this to find out how seriously the Bush administration has screwed us over. The book has been #1 on bestseller lists (Amazon, New York Times, etc.) for awhile now. Bye, bye Mr. O'Reilly!

with one slight difference
A majority of congress and the senate did vote in favor of the war. With the same information Bush had at the time. to look back and then point fingers for both sides is a waste of time and more cash on fake hearings, again for and or from both sides. Of course I know this wont change anyones mind in this forum, however it was our representivies that we voted for that made the final decision.

robin, that's true, but you're missing the point. bush and co. insisted there were WMDs in iraq. clarke's testimonies show that bush and co. were lying. this changes EVERYTHING. bush lied and the majority of congress and senate unfortunately believed him. as a direct result of bush's lies, 600 american soldiers have died and we've lost billions of dollars.

I havent read or heard that, I have read Mr. Clarkes testimony and didnt see it. Can you get me a link please ? Blix said there were no WMD's or little to worry about. I might point out we have to do a search that is respectful of the peoples of Iraq, not just start digging here and there. We dont have all the facts yet, lots on inuendo and speculation but few facts.
