What happened to Paul O'Neill?
Shouldn't he be out there backing up Clarke's statements about the * Administration's obsession with Iraq? Why hasn't he been heard from recently? Has he been 'silenced' by Karl Rove?

Sorry for the confusion. I was just illustrating how irresponsible Drudge is.

8. Wouldn't shock me.
Drudge is smearing Clarke right now. Headline about big contract bonuses Clarke got for the book.

12. Drudge did not indicate the following:
1. That Clarke said on CNN he would give the bulk of the proceeds to the 9/11 victims

2. That white house insiders told him an order was given to make sure he doesn't make another cent in "this town"

3. That Drudge is an A* Hole

2. Someone got to O'Neil
After the 60 minutes interview, the next day he backed away. It appeared that he was afraid of something

9. Fearing for his life probably.
Either that or they've got something on him, which is very likely given his CEO past.

10. In Suskind's book O'Neill says he's an old rich man with nothing to lose,
but I think he had more to lose than he thought. No doubt some kind of threats from Roveco, probably hitting his family, children, grandchildren whatever. There's always someone vulnerable, something to blackmail in any family.

You haff relatives in ze old country, yess?

15. Didn't Perot accuse bush Sr. of smearing his daughter?
I forget the details, but I seem to remember something of this sort. Like father, like son?

13. You might want to keep an eye on this site:
http://thepriceofloyalty.ronsuskind.com/

Its the site of O'Neils coauthor, Ron Suskind, who may have something to say on the Clarke affair in the future. Nothing now, but maybe something later on.
