"hey Teribus, if the Bush Admin. is so concerned about wmds? and terrorists getting hold of them, how come there wasnt even a PEEP from the white house when AQ KHan the Pakistani father of the bomb openly admitted to trading nuclear secrets with Libya, North Korea etc. and the whole nuclear black market that
came to light."

yes, Teribus, i'd be interested in seeing one of your briefs on that one.

also, Clarke replied to the accusations about the background info statements at the hearing. clearly he was acting in his position as a member of the administration to take the facts and put them in the best light to credit the president. as he said, it happens every day in washington. it's called spin. and if this is the best they can come up with to divert attention from his charges i'd say they better look out. more officials have come out today to give witness to the meeting right after 9/11 where bush fixated on iraq. i'm guessing that a public servant with as long a record of good standing with repubs and dems as Clarke seems to have will have enough defenders to wipe the bushslime off.
