Clarke swings back, and hard.
I'm watching Clarke on Russert's show. Timmeh made a big deal about the resignation letter Clarke sent to Bush, and how it was so nice.
Clarke then dropped the fucking bomb - a letter from Bush, hand-written, in which Bush praises Clarke's service and saying 'he would be missed.'
This guy clearly is not fucking around here, and Russert's head nearly exploded when he whipped out that letter.
Oh, and he reiterated his call to declassify his entire testimony regarding 9/11.

MY head about exploded watching Richard Perle on CNN Late Edition. He's on right AFTER Clarke, same interviewer (not "Castle Wolfenstein" Blizer, some blonde woman) on both.
Clarke made the same point he's been pounding on every show: The difference with Al-Qaida is that THEY'RE NOT STATE SPONSORED. That's what makes them dangerous.
So what does Perle say in response? It's all about going after the states that sponsor terrorism. He's even dragging out the old lie about links between Iraqi intelligence and AQ. Reporter says "We're told there weren't any links." Perle responds "That's the conventional wisdom now, but there WERE."
No proof, no evidence, no references or cites to documents, testimony, nothing. He just says it, so it's so. And does Ms. Blonde do anything resembling a followup question, like asking where his evidence is??
Silly question. Sorry. I get dumb when my head is exploding.
