Richard Clarke: Forgotten? Not by me.

[Faygo Kid]

I decided to re-read "Against All Enemies," and just read the part last night where Wolfowitz, Bush, et al are focused solely on Saddam and Iraq immediately after 9/11. That account was crucial in connecting the dots. The media forgot about him, and wouldn't you love to hear an interview now to see what he has to say about Plamegate, or should I say Iraqgate? There are others, but Clarke is my hero, thank you very much.

1. A Caller asked Malloy as to whether Clarke testified before the GJ

last night.

Does anyone know if he's involved at all?

[against all enemies]

3. His name came out somewhere as a friend of Judith Miller. Hope

he reevaluates that one.

[Faygo Kid]

6. I'm with you on that one.

The Judy Miller thing is appalling, and not just because they got caught.

9. Supposedly he visited her in jail

that doesn't necessarily mean it was a 'friendly' visit?

[against all enemies]

2. The truth was out a long time ago.

4. I use Clarke's book as a reference all the time

so glad I have it.

5. same here, "Imperial Hubris" by Anonymous aka Michael Scheuer is great too

[leetrisck]

7. Agree - I have that one also

actually there are more than these 2 - if only America would have listened soon enough.

8. His attack on Bush admin was critical in helping establish the sense

of the administrion as not being forthcoming concerning their ulterior motives, with, if not the general public, then the people who count. He has not been forgotten.

10. They talked a little about (I think) a new book this morning on

NPR.

If I understood them correctly, there will be a more extensive interview tomorrow afternoon. ...Yep.

October 26 · We talk with Richard Clarke about terrorism and homeland security. The former counterterrorism official has written his first novel, a thriller set five years in the future that envisions us on the verge of another war in the Middle East. (sounded good)

On the negative side, they're also putting some psycho on tomorrow morning who wants to create a world force to invade countries who displease us.

11. Its all about Iraq

He is cranky but I love Clarke also. Bush White ouse has always been good at killing the messenger

I wonder if we could have a Clark - Clarke ticket

12. Clarke was on Franken's show today - great interview! Check

the Air America site to see if it's archived. Also, I'm sure Sundance will feature Clarke tonight in their excerpts from today's show.

Clarke did discuss the CIA Leak investigation in detail as well as his new book, The Scorpion's Gate.

19. Thanks for the info! I'll catch the replay tonight

and I look forward to his new book.

[MasonJar]

13. He was on NPR this morning telling about his new novel which is

apparently about Iraq five years in the future. He said that fiction is a good way to get readers to project possibilities...not verbatim Clarke....just gist.

14. He was on NPR this morning

Laid out how Iran, Chalabi specifically, got us to do just what they wanted in Iraq. He was great!

16. Thanks so much. I will try to download. Didn't know this.

Spread the word!

18. I saw him on daytime tv yesterday hawking his new novel.

Good to see him out. He made a couple of his standing points about how we got from there to here. Always good to see him and here some truth.
