It Is In Many Ways A Tougher Opponent Than The Original Threat We Faced Before S3ptember 11, And We Are Not Doing What Is Necessary To Make America Safe From That Threat. " No One Has More Authority To Make That Claim Than Richard Clarke, The Former Counterterrorism Czar For Both Bill Clinton And George W. Bush.

Clarke Was The Nation's Crisis Manager In c~tinuance 9/11, Running The Situation Room -- A Scene Described Here For The First Time -- And Then Watched In Terror At What Followed.
