Clinton Better than Bush vs. Terror

The Seattle Times reports: "More on the Clarke controversy: The pundits and politicians who keep saying that Clinton's anti-terrorism policies and Bush's are the same are missing a key piece of the puzzle. The policy outline was the same, but the implementation was very different. Hint: The key piece of evidence is the Millennium Plot. This was an al-Qaeda operation timed for late December 1999. Forestalling this plot was the biggest counter-terrorism success the US has ever had against al-Qaeda."


And if Clarke has suggestions on pre-911 anti-terror effort could have been better(say by doing things Clinton did to stop the millennium terror attack), and even with the benefit of hindsight Condi does not know what she could have changed - why does Condi still have a job?

As Robert Parry notes: While Rice says she can't think of anything she might have done differently, former counter-terrorism coordinator Richard Clarke has offered a detailed set of actions that should have been undertaken, including 'shaking the tree' by having high-level officials from the FBI, CIA, Customs and other federal agencies go back to their bureaucracies and demand any information about the terrorist threat... In Against All Enemies, Clarke contrasts President Bill Clinton's urgency over the intelligence warnings that preceded the Millennium events with the lackadaisical approach of Bush and his national security team."http://www.consortiumnews.com/2004/040504.html
