Might Clarke spur on other defectors?
Might Clarke spur on other defectors? If so, who?

We know who the dead enders are... Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condi, Wolfowitz. Are there any other high level Bush administration honchos who might turn?

4. Powell is the worst of the bunch
no chance he'd ever tell the truth. He's been lying his self-aggrandizing ass to the top ever since the 60's.

I can''t find a single instance in his entire life of him ever doing the right thing.

5. We can only hope....but I do think these books from O'Neill, Clarke,
Woodward...and hopefully others, WILL cause BushCo to account for their wrongdoing.

6. Who are you speaking of when you include Woodward?
Surely, not Bob Woodward. Another person who morphed. I admit I haven't read his book, but I figure I don't have to to know what his spin is now - he spins for Bush on TV - is his book really different. I can't think of any other Woodwards.

9. Woodward is not worth reading
at least not on the top tier of good books. I strongly recommend Kevin Phillips' "American Dynasty." It is one of the most important books since Arthur Schesinger, Jr.'s "The Imperial Presidency."

7. Maybe
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 12:21 PM by Mel
but after watching what the BFEE and the corporatista media is doing to Clarke who would want to? I do think they aren't having the success they have had with others though. I think Clarke's much better prepared than anyone else that's went up against them. Wilson is still in the wings I'm waiting for his book to hit.

One other note:
Clarke during his Timmy interview said he was told from someone that's still an insider 'they are going to make sure Clarke never makes another dime in D.Ceit'

I can't give you a who because I'm not seeing one other than Wilson coming up the rear and having Clarke's back on the point that the Gangsters in the WH have screwed up the 'War on Terrorism' and their attacking Iraq was the wrong thing to do and making us less safe.

I hope that it becomes obvious to the people of this country that we have Gangsters that aren't willing to take criticism they are thin skinned and so extreme that they will attack the person not the facts and even go so far as outing a CIA agent in order to stay in power. That's what makes them not up for the task of holding the UNITED STATES highest positions of service for the people! We are less safe!
