Reply #115: WHAT IF Clarke is really "damage control"?

[TahitiNut]

Clarke has no "whistleblower" credentials I can see. Virtually everything he's said is already out there. He's merely confirming some limited degree of culpability of this adminstration. It's old news that the incoming administration blew off the briefings on al-Qaeda. It's old news that antiterrorism was put on the far back burner. It's old news that warnings were ignored.

Whenever I see someone like this, who has far more service to the corporatist right-wing than most, come out with "me too" revelations, I gotta wonder if it's damage control -- lighting a fire break to keep the real truth from getting lit up. :shrug:
