Lehman, Thompson, Other GOP Saboteurs Left Red-Faced, Mumbling and Sweating in the Face of the Unflappable Wall of Fact and Truth that Is Clarke
CLARKE: ...And, yes, I will admit, I co-teach a class at the Harvard University and Georgetown University with Mr. Beers. That, I don't think, makes me a member of the Kerry campaign. The White House has said that my book is an audition for a high- level position in the Kerry campaign. So let me say here as I am under oath, that I will not accept any position in the Kerry administration, should there be one -- on the record, under oath. Now, as to your accusation that there is a difference between what I said to this commission in 15 hours of testimony and what I am saying in my book and what media outlets are asking me to comment on, I think there's a very good reason for that. In the 15 hours of testimony, no one asked me what I thought about the president's invasion of Iraq. And the reason I am strident in my criticism of the president of the United States is because by invading Iraq -- something I was not asked about by the commission, it's something I chose write about a lot in the book -- by invading Iraq the president of the United States has greatly undermined the war on terrorism.All the magic.

KEAN: Commissioner Fielding?
AmCop will be on hold for two days, while Blicero returns home on his Northern swing and Richard Clarke endures his flaying, crucifixion, and death.
Back on Friday!
