Interested in the 9/11 Commission? Watch this morning’s hearing live now on C-SPAN3 on the Web. (If necessary, look for the
third link down in the “Watch/Listen” box. You have the option of RealPlayer or Windows
Media.) CIA Director George Tenet is testifying at the moment. Former Bush anti-terrorism czar
Richard Clarke, who is under attack by the administration for his account of its failures in the war
on terrorism, testifies later today. Watch yesterday’s CNN interview of Clarke — scroll down to the video
box, then click on “Bill Hemmer talks with”– and see if Clarke doesn’t make a
credible eyewitness to events he writes about in “Against All Enemies : Inside the White House’s War on Terror–What Really
Happened” and why the book wasn’t published earlier,
before the presidential election campaigns. At 1:30 p.m. ET, you can watch Clarke testify
before the commission on C-Span3 on the
Web.
Postscript: A reader writes that Scot J. Paltrow’s devastating Wall
Street Journal article about gaps and inconsistencies in government accounts of what happened on
9/11 — which I referred to yesterday and which I said was not
available online — is in fact online here. I stand
happily corrected. Don’t miss the chance to read it.
