Anyone else catching the 'Fresh Air' segment w/ Clarke?

[dweller]

i don't see any new threads...but he's laying it all on here without anyone taking him to task.

Just said: if anyone is 'wagging the dog here (referring to Clinton/wag the dog movie, etc) it's Bush'.

very enlightening program. Should be a transcript soon.

5. Yes

Too bad the average Joe isn't and will believe attempted slanders of Clarke being given air time on their TV channels and talk shows that are partisan.

8. I think this interview is better than

the 60 minutes and Charlie Rose interviews. Terry asks some good questions.

Also, I can't recommend enough the Hans Blix interview, also very damning towards Bush.

10. Next Fresh Air----NEIL YOUNG. . . lol

and coming up now program about how 'news' is a business...what you hear or read is not due to journalistic ethics, but business tactics...probably deserves a thread of its own.

12. Listened to it at work

(the joy of being the only one in the office!) It was GREAT! Clarke's going to be on Larry King on CNN in a few minutes. It will be interesting to see what he says there-or what Larry allows him to say.

14. that was good, but he's really blasting away on Larry King
