Fight Fire With...Truth

Dick Clarke Is Telling the Truth - Why he's right about Bush's negligence on terrorism

The link above leads to the best piece I've found yet explaining why Dick Clarke's book and 60 Minutes appearance should be taken very seriously. Meanwhile, William Saletan offers on explanation for Bush's indifference to Clarke--one that readers of Al Franken will find familiar: he distrusted anything related to Bill Clinton. No one is quite saying that 9/11 was Bush's fault, and they shouldn't; he didn't kill 3,000 people. But isn't it ironic that he's running on national security when he did ignored everyone who wanted to make the nation more secure prior to the most deadly terrorist attack in our history?
