To further counter the reverse and dirty "spin" Shrub & Twigs are trying so very hard to apply to Mr. Clarke, I am pointing you to a fine piece written by Robert O. Boorstin:
In his new book, "Against All Enemies," Dick Clarke – the former national coordinator for security, infrastructure protection and counterterrorism - gives the straight story about what was going on in the Bush White House before and after Sept. 11, 2001. It is not a pretty picture.
