By the way, have you seen this article, which is about a classified July 4, 2001 memo released by the White House? It's funny - the memo described a series of steps it said the White House had taken to put the nation on heightened terrorist alert. Among the steps, the memorandum said, "all 56 F.B.I. field offices were also tasked in late June to go to increased surveillance and contact with informants related to known or suspected terrorists in the United States."
This memo is from the desk of... drumroll... Richard A. Clarke! As Blair says over at Sadly, No - "So, Dick Clarke was a disgruntled, partisan, racist, sexist, out-of-the-loop hack with a "weird" lifestyle, but we'll certainly use his work product to try to point the finger of accountability at someone, anyone else?"
