"I would welcome it being declassified, but not just a little line here or there. Let's declassify all six hours of my testimony," [Richard Clarke] said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Unlike the Bushies, Clarke strikes me as a shrewd and careful man. He would not have stepped out into the sunlight to say what he has to say unless he were convinced he could prove the Bushies to be liars eight ways from Sunday, in documentary triplicate. Clarke realizes -- where the Wrecks-All Wrangler doesn't -- that this is a chess game, and that realization puts him about ten moves ahead. All possible moves by Bush lead to checkmate.
