7. I'm guessing Clarke because he has been talking too

For example, as mentioned in the Blumenthal interview by Will Pitt. It sure seems to track with O'Neill's description of Bush...

http://truthout.org/docs_03/120803A.shtml

(Blumenthal)"Richard Clarke was Director of Counter-Terrorism in the national Security Council. He has since left. Clark urgently tried to draw the attention of the Bush administration to the threat of al Qaeda. Right at the present, the Bush administration is trying to withhold documents from the 9/11 bipartisan commission. I believe one of the things that they do not want to be known is what happened on August 6, 2001. It was on that day that George W. Bush received his last, and one of the few, briefings on terrorism. I believe he told Richard Clarke that he didn’t want to be briefed on this again, even though Clarke was panicked about the alarms he was hearing regarding potential attacks. Bush was blithe, indifferent, ultimately irresponsible. The public has a right to know what happened on August 6, what Bush did, what Condi Rice did, what all the rest of them did, and what Richard Clarke’s memos and statements were. Then the public will be able to judge exactly what this presidency has done.

6. my bet is one Christine Todd Whitman...IMHO she was set-up to fail

just becuase of shrub's mgmt style...zero direction and made her look like a fool after wroking so hard for so long to gain consensus.

2. un-named source

wonder who going to be next to fly the coop, and rat out bush*. Hope the public is atleast engaged in finding out.

3. Major editing mishap in this article...it's NOT O'Neill's book!

ARticle states or implies at least three times that it's O'neill's book and is at least part of his motivation.

But it's Suskind's book, and O'Neill was just a source.

WTG ABC! :eyes:

9. I would expect that the White House is launching an immediate

investigation to find out who leaked this information - that would put the Plume affair to shame.
