According to a March 21, 2004, interview on 60 Minutes, former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said of President Bush: ” ‘Frankly, I find it outrageous that the president is running for reelection on the grounds that he’s done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored it for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We’ll never know.’ ”
