I saw the interview and wondered why the most important questions weren't
asked: "if you were the terrorist czar for the past 24 years, why did you
not see 9/11 coming? And where were you during the bombing of the marine
barracks in Beirut? During Somalia? The first attack on the WTC? The USS
Cole? The Khobar Towers? "

The guy remained silent when we were turning tail in Beirut and Somalia, and
he remained silent when the Clinton Administration was pursuing terrorists
through criminal prosecution...rather than holding accountable the countries
that sponsored them. His advice and/or policies likely played a large role
in the strength of the enemy today.

It's pure partisan politics. Clarke doesn't agree with going after the
countries that sponsor terrorists. Instead, he advocates the laughable idea
of punishing terrorists in our criminal courts.

You may think his book and interview will make a difference. I'm telling
you that 95% of Americans, if asked about him in a month, will say they
never even heard of the guy.

Isn't it funny how the hard questions never seem to get asked? Tim
Russert had Sen. Kennedy on "Meet The Press," and Tim did much the
same thing. Hard questions weren't asked, and pertinent questions were
answered with, "Bush is bad, Bush is bad."

I sent a message to Russert asking why NBC didn't just give Kennedy a
free half hour to bash Bush.
