"Richard Clarke: CFR Insider, Darling du Jour for Liberals"

Clarke "served" the last three presidents as a senior White House Advisor, as Special Assistant to the President for Global Affairs, National Coordinator for Security and Counter-Terrorism, and Special Advisor to the President for Cyber Security. In other words, there is not a lick of difference between Bush Junior, Clinton, and Bush the Elder. Clarke is a consummate insider. He is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Clarke worked for the Pentagon, the spook agencies, and the State Department.

He was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence under the Reagan.

He coordinated "diplomatic efforts" during the first Bush invasion of Iraq. In other words, Clarke is complicit in 100,000 needless military and possibly a million civilian deaths (most of them children) during and in the decade following the invasion (estimates vary).

The only difference between Clarke and the Bush neocons is that they were fixated on former CIA asset Saddam Hussein and Clarke fixated on former CIA asset Osama bin Laden. In short, not a dime's worth of difference between Clarke and the neocons.

Finally, read Scott Loughrey's The Disinformation of Richard Clarke.

"[I]t is hard not to believe that Clarke's defection is a hoax," writes Loughrey. "The target audiences are the media sources and personalities who are still trying to promote the Bush Regime's Official Story of what happened on 9/11/01. (This is the fable of 19 suicidal hijackers flying planes into tall buildings at the behest of dialysis patient Osama bin Laden from his cave in Afghanistan.) Since the 911 Truth Movement is now very publicly challenging the Official Story, the White House surely enlisted Richard Clarke's 'defection' in order to help the media define the level of permissible dissent from the 911 Commission."

Makes sense to me.
