in reference to the "asserts that while neither president did enough" quote, does she ever get dizzy and puke all over her keyboard? I know all that spinning would make ME upchuck. In fact it almost did, and I wasn't even the one doing it!
Note that, while there was room for her to write:
Steven Hadley, the president's deputy national security adviser, denied that anyone at the White House had tried to intimidate Mr. Clarke into finding a link between 9/11 and Iraq....there was apparently not enough room to note that CBS had two people corroborate the story - one of whom was actually THERE, unlike Hadley.
But, there was room to also note that:
Mr. Clarke's book also accuses the Clinton administration of having done too little to fight the threat of Al Qaeda. But he attributes this to the fact that Mr. Clinton had been "weakened by continuing political attack" stemming from his involvement with a White House intern and by other scandals.which is obviously so much more important than the fact that Clarke's allegations were corroborated by eyewitnesses.
I was a bit upset that thread got locked yesterday, because the "replacement" we were directed to wasn't about Miller's article - and we were discussing MILLER'S spin, not the information about Clarke's appearance per se.
