Well, so much for "terrorism transcending politics", as Izvestia on the Hudson would have it
The Republican members of the commission are now impugning Clarke's credibility.
Funny thing, Drudge is spreading the same meme at the same time: "[Clarke] Under Pressure" is Drudge's headline. Coincidence? You be the judge...
My God, have these guys no shame? Clarke was at a potential Ground Zero in the White House on 9/11, knowing the planes could be coming right at him, running the country's response to the attack, and Drudge has the nerve to talk about "pressure."
Puh-leeze....
9/11 commission member John Lehman challenged former counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke's credibility in hearings today, pointing out that Clarke's statements about the Bush administration in his new book differ from his testimony. Clarke responded that he hadn't been asked about the U.S. invasion of Iraq and that by invading Iraq, the president "has greatly undermined the war on terrorism."
