Informed Commentary

Richard Clarke's Op-Ed column is, in my progressive opinion, a brilliant critique of the 9/11 commission.

It is simultaneously exciting and disheartening to read such a radical set of ideas from someone of Clarke's background. He has a vision of success that illustrates some harsh realities, insofar as the neccessity of spies and commandos has returned to our world.

The unfortunate reality is that the current administration has shown no patience for people with ideas like these and no hesitation at removing them from any position of affect.
