“Frankly,” he said, “I find it outrageous that the President is running
for re-election on the grounds that he’s done such great things about
terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we
could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We’ll never know.”
—Richard Clarke, former antiterrorism advisor to the White House
from Reagan to Bush fils and author of a new book on the “war”
on terror. Quote culled from a CBS
News report accompanying an appearance on 60 Minutes.
