WTF Is It Now?!?

Quote
Richard Clarke 'made himself a hero in the eyes of 911 victims when he did something George W. Bush has failed to do in two and a half years - he sincerely apologized to the families of the victims for failing to protect their loved ones. Slate's Fred Kaplan called this "a stunning blow to the Bush administration - the political equivalent of a first-round knockout."'


'A simple request for the President'
"Regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with Mr. Clarke's facts, he set an eloquent example for all of us yesterday. He accepted responsibility for September 11. He made himself accountable and he tried, in my view, to help us understand what happened in the months and years before September 11. I couldn't be more disappointed in the White House's response. They have known for months what Mr. Clarke was going to say. Instead of dealing with it factually, they've launched a shrill attack to destroy Mr. Clarke's credibility." - from Tom Daschle's remarks to the Senate, 3/25/04.
