There's lots about it on google news, Amos, but here's a short bit:



NEW YORK : A former White House anti-terrorism adviser has accused president Bush of ignoring terrorism threats before the September 11 attacks and of making America less safe.

Richard Clarke, Bush's top official on counter-terrorism who headed a cybersecurity board, told CBS "60 minutes" in an interview he thought Bush had "done a terrible job."

"I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11," Clarke told CBS.

Clarke, who was an adviser to four presidents, says in a book to be published next week that the US should have taken out Qaeda and its training camps in Afghan long before the attacks of 9/11, for which the militant network was blamed.

"I think the way he has responded to Qaeda, both before 9/11 by doing nothing, and by what he's done after 9/11, has made us less safe," Clarke told CBS.


Clarke is already being attacked, supposedly because he worked for Clinton, too, and basically said Clinton dropped the ball. I think I'd reserve judgement until I read his book and research it more.

Just for fun, take a look at Democratic Underground.
