Talk:Against All Enemies

Untitled
I think this article may need at least some cleaning up. In the section "Responses from the Bush Administration," although helpful, half the criticisms don't come from the Bush Administration at all: "Some alleged that Clarke had published the book..." "Others pointed to the fact that Clarke..." "Another major criticism of Clarke...", and if they did I think they need to be attributed to someone and have a reference. Perhaps there should be an additional criticisms section with these that would give the article more structure.

Moved from article:


 * The Bush administration responded to Clarke's charges somewhat haphazardly, with sometimes contradictory statements that consisted mostly of personal attacks on Clarke and his credibility.

This amounts to a partisan charge that the response was:
 * haphazard (i.e., not credible)
 * contradictory (i.e., clearly false)
 * nothing more than an attack on Clarke's credibility (i.e., incredible!)

I don't know how to repair this, unless we can find someone to source this to, if it really IS the Democratic Party line. --Uncle Ed 21:20, 6 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Does it matter much? The current page already presents the administrations attempt to discredit Clarke as being mostly via personal attacks, and the presentation of their history illuminates them as being haphazard, contradictory, and mostly ad hominem. I mean, the evidence makes the point already, so removing the summary thereof doesn't do much harm; any reader can immediately see the truth of it :)

As a reader, I think it would be interesting to find out more about why Cheney said the White House was deliberately keeping the head of counter-terrorism in the dark about US counter-terrorism; is that because the White House didn't want to be embarrassed by its Bin Laden relatives cover-up?

There's also a novel of the same name, by neo-con Ben Wattenberg and a collaborator. Do we need a disambiguation?--Orange Mike 22:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

If I rememeber rightly when wacthing the 9 11 hearings, it came out the George Bush had never even met him, in a professional capacity before the attacks. is this true?
