DougR,

yes, it was Clarke. But recall that Clarke was a high-ranking member of the Bush administration at the time, not a "Bush-basher." He ultimately left precisely because he could not stomach decisions like these.
Bush fans amuse me, in that on the one hand they like to paint a picture of Bush as "in control" during the crisis, but then blame every single decision on somebody else. It was the CIA/FBI/Pentagon/Clarke that screwed up. All Bush did was do what the CIA/FBI/Pentagon/Clarke told him! Can't blame a man for that!

Why point out that Moore makes money, DougR? As a Bush supporter you obviously don't object to wealth, so what point are you making? I don't quite get it.
