Iraq on the Record. “Prepared at the direction of Rep. Henry A.

if you’re interested in following the testimony of the 9/11 Panel, thanks to the NY Times you can watch it live, or, if you’d prefer, read the transcript, which is being updated throughout the day.

on the hoo-haw that former terrorism czar Richard Clarke has caused with the publication of his book and the interview with him that was broadcast on 60 Minutes on Sunday.

Anyhow – today in Salon there is an interview with Clarke in which he responds to the attacks.
