Unlike many of the 1-star posters, I actually READ the book!, March 28, 2004

Reviewer: A reader from Cambridge, MA United States

Richard Clarke is a true patriot because he puts his country before his party. This meticulously-documented book lays the blame on Clinton AND Bush. However, he points out some of the failed attempts to fight al Qaeda due to the political firestorms in the '90s. When Clinton wanted to bomb the terrorist camps in Afghanistan, the Republicans attacked him, saying that it was a "Wag the Dog" scenario to deflect attention from the Monica scandal. Clinton's efforts to fund anti-terrorism initiatives in July, 1996 were dismissed by Orrin Hatch as a "phony issue".

Please be aware, webmaster, that many of the one-star reviews are an effort by a right-wing website called Free Republic to alter the rating of this book.

2. I gave you and all of the positive..
reviewers a helpful vote and I voted the Freeper reviewers not helpful.

Why do their reviews always look and read as if they were written by a drunk imbecile? e.g.:

***"Clarke.. lied under oath"**** Jail time????, March 28, 2004
Reviewer: Dave Trix from SAN DIEGO, CA--BUSH COUNTRY
The guy lies under oath yet look at all of the five star reviews (same person no doubt) and helpful votes (again..same person..paid shill)

So we can assume that either the five star reviewer has lost contact witht he real world or does not care that the man behind this book is a LIAR!
