re: #270 Romantic Heretic

I recall that the White House counter-terror person, Richard A. Clarke, didn’t get to speak to Bush and his inner circle until about a week before 9/11.

I also recall that Clarke stated the very first meeting of the National Security Council the first item on the agenda was, “How do we do Iraq?”

There’s a name I haven’t heard in forever. I remember Richard Clarke and how he got smeared by Bush’s allies in the media and the administration.
