In Reply to: Fahrenheit 9/11: the growing critical consensus... posted by Audiophilander on June 17, 2004 at 16:34:22:
Does Moore mention anywhere in the film that the decision to let the bin Laden family leave was entirely Richard Clark's call, not Bush's? Clark was a holdover from the Clinton administration, in case people have forgotten.

Who's Moore appeasing for fun and profit? Seems to be Islamofascists and their sympathizers. Even Hezbollah offered to help distribute the film.
... was actually a holdover from the first Bush Administration & before that Reagan/Bush; he was a career political appointee.
Haven't seen Farenheit 9/11, so I don't know how Moore tries to paint the decision to let the bin Laden family leave the U.S. Still wondering if you know.
wanting a high level in the Department of Homeland Security and only becoming critical when
1. he didn't get that position
2. it became clear he had worn out his welcome.
3. It was obvious he no longer had daily access to the president but that George Tenet did.One might be tempted to say that was a mistake, given the CIA's performance in the decades since the Church and Pike committees although it isn't a mistake structurally, certainly. As to what Richard Clark might have said if given daily access . . . given his reputation for sucking up; who knows?
I suspect (actually, I am told) that such conduct has been his modus operandi regardless of the administration he was serving.
Oh, well. His notoriety certainly helped the sales of his book.
