So the vice-president tells Rush and his hordes of dittoheads that Richard Clarke wasn’t “in the loop” on the issues leading up to 9/11. The administration’s national security advisor — one would hope she knows who was in these meetings from personal experience — claims Clarke was in every meeting on those issues.
A Dispute: Was an Official ’in the Loop’? It All Depends:
On the contrary, Ms. Rice said, Mr. Clarke was very much involved in the administration’s fight against terrorism.
“I would not use the word ‘out of the loop,’ ” Ms. Rice told reporters . . . . .
“He was in every meeting that was held on terrorism,” Ms. Rice said. “All the deputies’ meetings, the principals’ meeting that was held and so forth, the early meetings after Sept. 11.”
Is it any wonder Osama is still on the loose? With this kind of organizational integrity, he could be living at the White House . . .
