Please, Leslie. Don’t call him Dick Clarke.
Just watched the interview with Richard Clarke on 60 Minutes. It’s pretty damning. Most of the salient points have already been covered here, here, and here. #
There’s just one thing, something that my roommate pointed out to me. CBS is owned by Viacom. So is Free Press (a division of Simon & Schuster), which is publishing Richard Clarke’s book. I wish I didn’t feel creeped out about that. I’m sure Clarke has some good points to make. I want to believe him, but there’s that hanging question of motivation and timing. Worse, didn’t anyone at 60 Minutes consider the appearance issue? #
I’m not sure what’s worse – our current administartion or the major media. #
