A Political Bombshell
Richard Clarke, counterterrrorism chief of the national security staff under both Clinton and Bush (II) is about to denounce the Bush administration's handling of the war on terror tonight on 60 Minutes. My own feeling about this is that it's going to be a huge bombshell. Clarke is well known within the political community as the guy advocating greater vigilance against Al Qaeda in the months before 9/11, and he did play a key role in the Bush administration's response. His denunciation of the administration (coupled perhaps with John McCain's vouching for Kerry's security credentials) will make this a very bad week for the Dubya House. I'd recommend watching it.
