<clip>


Clarke then tells Stahl of being pressured by Mr. Bush.

"The president dragged me into a room with a couple of other people, shut the door, and said, 'I want you to find whether Iraq did this.' Now he never said, 'Make it up.' But the entire conversation left me in absolutely no doubt that George Bush wanted me to come back with a report that said Iraq did this.

"I said, 'Mr. President. We've done this before. We have been looking at this. We looked at it with an open mind. There's no connection.'

"He came back at me and said, "Iraq! Saddam! Find out if there's a connection.' And in a very intimidating way. I mean that we should come back with that answer. We wrote a report."

Clarke continued, "It was a serious look. We got together all the FBI experts, all the CIA experts. We wrote the report. We sent the report out to CIA and found FBI and said, 'Will you sign this report?' They all cleared the report. And we sent it up to the president and it got bounced by the National Security Advisor or Deputy. It got bounced and sent back saying, 'Wrong answer. ... Do it again.'

And just for the heck of it, why don't we do something ground breaking to find out who's telling the truth. Let's put you on a lie detector next to Richard Clarke and let's see who makes the needle go crazy. You up for that huh pig boy?

1. Were those literally the words used?
I've heard that story before, I think, but are those the actual words used by Libby/Feith/Hadley?

2. A Dumbsfeld quote.... almost exact... when the decision to punish
the Afghans was made.... "But there aren't any good targets in Afghanistan... there are lots of good targets in IRAQ"... that's pretty near an exact quote.... so, they can all go sh*t in their hats.

Nothing illuminates the truth like a little sunshine. What are they afraid of? If they were sincere, that will bear out in the investigation, and they can put the allegations to rest once and for all. I would think they would welcome this opportunity.
