Look into his past a bit...vmyths is a good place t ostart...or some the y2k mess ( I was a front liner in the y2k fixes thats where I first got to know about Mr. Clark.). Every thing to this guy is domsday so Idon't doubt that he was screaming about a poss al-quida attack...this guy wsa a war monger and fear monger for years, i remember starting to dislike him in the late 90's when he was calling for an invasion of afganistan (ok so in hind sight perhaps a good idea), hes also the guy behind the tomohak strikes that took out the asprin factory in the sudan....perhaps if he cried wolf a littel less people in the current administration would have listened to him.

On the other hand the religious right up to 9/11 had been courting the taliban as a like minded group. (well at least the extream religious right like ashcrofts group that wanted to set up a theocracy in the US.) So perhaps their lobbying of bush scilenced his voice.
