p> Why is it so astonishing that President Bush would have an inordinate interest in terminating the Iraqi regime after 9/11 attacks? It was official government policy to seek "regime change" in Iraq since a 1998 Congressional Resolution sought by the Clinton Administration. No other country had this distinction. Bush would have been derelict in his duties for not connecting a gross act of terrorism with Iraq in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. br> -- Jerome Brick br> Beaver Dam, Arizona /p>

I am relieved that so many saw the petty little man Clarke the way I saw him. Nervous, blustering and in denial as the interview blundered its way through the opening sixty minute program- segment. Soft ball garbage with little or no relevance to the truth, easily discredited by the guest's own contradiction of statements.

p>This was a Clinton professional in action. br> -- L. Hyak br> Vacaville, California /p> p> Not only did Lesley Stahl do a second rate job interviewing Richard Clarke about his book, but she covered herself in shame for failing to disclose the conflict of interest that exists between CBS (her employer) and Simon and Schuster (publisher of Clarke's book) and the ownership of both companies by Viacom. This wasn't a news interview as much as it was an infomercial for a book that served the political agenda of the companies involved. br> -- Dick Melville br> Ozone Park, New York
