Ex-Aide's Book Corners Market in Capital Buzz

the Richard Clarke book is a literary phenomenon, as well as political bombshell. The book is a great read, full of insider comments on many topics from the Reagan administration to the present; while Clarke is a tremendous and appreciated Bush critic he's also a hardline militarist, an uncritical defender and admirer of Israel, and clever bureaucratic player. His testimony at the 9/11 hearings was a political masterpiece but he is getting the full smear and slam treatment from the right. Those critics who are citing his earlier proBush reports as evidence of inconsistency or opportunism should be told that this is exactly the sort of positive spin that political bureaucrats do and that he only turned on Bush when he saw what a disaster the Bush Gang Iraq intervention was and how it undermined the war on terrorism by creating more enemies for the US, alienating and isolating the US from allies, and creating a political quagmire.

Consortiumnews.comBush's Terror Hysteria

good analysis of how Bush manipulates terror hysteria and frames his war on terror as a "calling," thus communicating to Christian right and possibly signalling his own self-understanding of what he is up to [which makes it difficult to admit he's made a mistake, change course or policy, etc, because he's on a religious crusade, a calling....]

Here's Why Condi Rice Won't Testify Under Oath Before the 9/11 Commission - A BuzzFlash Editorial

Condi won't testify because her failure to engage al Qaeda and terrorism before 9/11 is criminal negligance; so far, the Hearings are concerned with why the Bush and Clinton administrations were so lax in taking out bin Laden and his top al Qaeda leadership; the real questions concern why 9/11 happened here in the States and who was responsible [obviously someone on the Bush watch]

Israel targets entire Hamas leadership; Army chief suggests Arafat could be assassinated
