"Given that Clarke's goal in 2004 was the election of John Kerry, if Clarke really believed that PDB was important or that we had specific information about an imminent al Qaeda attack, he would have certainly said so."
Well, given that Condoleezza Rice's stated goal was to get George W. Bush RE-ELECTED can we then charge that if she believed the PDB was that important she certainly would NOT have said so. Give me a break.
What the heck does that have to do with anything? If you're, essentially, going to charge Clarke with political bias because his "goal in 2004 was the election of John Kerry" I'm charging Condi Rice with the same thing with regards to Bush.
If not, why even include that ridiculous non sequitur?
