Richard Clarke for CIA Director
—
That might seem like an exaggeration to some, but is it? Who was right on the Iraq War and has been rewarded for their prescience in the pundit class? Among the DC media establishment, who has been punished for getting Iraq wrong? How about getting the intelligence wrong or right? The ...
