Michael O'Hanlon is a regular on RTE and not a "Bush cronie". Here's what
he has to say about Richard Clarke's charges
I'm not aware of anything specific that Clark recommended we do before September 11 that really could have stopped this. If one had been a lot more vigilant, there are things we could have done but it's easy to say that in retrospect.
As for Bush's determination that Clarke go back and recheck Iraq's possible involvement in September 11:
I can't fault Bush on that one," Mr. O'Hanlon says. "I don't think there was such a link, but who could be against a rigorous attempt to make sure?
I wonder if RTE will be interviewing O'Hanlon on Clarke's charges?
