National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites), the Clarke superior whom his book buries with faint praise, tried to make a cogent case before the September 11 commission on Apr. 8 that the newly arrived Bush Administration had done a reasonable job of pulling guard duty for the republic.

But she never did that, and what she did say was largely irrelevant and already forgotten.

The truly damning part about Against All Enemies, however, is what Clarke reveals about the Administration's mindset on Iraq (news - web sites). What George Bush, Dick Cheney (news - web sites), Condi Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz really have to answer for is the insidious way in which they used the Twin Tower horror to coax the country into supporting an attack on Iraq.
