Charles Krauthammer, on Richard Clarke’s apology:

“…by blaming the government for the deaths of their loved ones, [Dick] Clarke deftly endorsed the grotesque moral inversion by which those who died on Sept. 11 are victims of . . . George Bush. This is about as morally obscene as the implication (made by, among others, the irrepressible Howard Dean) that those who died in the Madrid bombings were also victims of George Bush.

This is false. They were all victims of al Qaeda and al Qaeda alone.

My take: Blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah — blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah — blah blah stupid Richard Clarke.
