WTF Is It Now?!?

Running scared

The swiftness and ferocity of the Bush White House's attack on Richard Clarke tells you two things: his story may be largely true, and the Bush administration is terrified that the American people will believe it.

The White House did not let a single news cycle go by before questioning that the alleged encounter between the president and Clarke had ever taken place, assigning dark motives to a man who has served four presidents, three of them Republicans.

But there were other witnesses to the meeting, one a former national security council official was too terrified of the misadministration to go on the record (via Blah3).
