GOP seeks declassification of Clarke testimony
Republican leaders push to release Richard Clarke July 2002 congressional testimony to compare past praise of the Bush administration with recent criticisms. They aim to illuminate discrepancies as Clarke testified before the joint intelligence panel and a separate commission investigating 9 11. The move raises questions about timing, security reviews, and possible public hearings.

Clinton Bush anti terror policies mirror before attacks
Hearings into the September 11 attacks show that Bush and Clinton administrations pursued similar terrorism policies. Witnesses and the commission found the so called new strategy against Osama bin Laden largely resembled the prior approach, with Clarke’s 1998 2000 proposals guiding both sides and suggesting Bush policy was not as novel as claimed. Clarke offered proposals in 2001 that formed the basis for the later Bush strategy adopted months after the attacks.

Rice seeks private testimony on power clash over Clarke claims
Political scholars say the dispute over Rice's silence centers on separation of powers. Her private interview request comes as Clarke accuses the Bush White House of mismanaging the war on terrorism and politicizing security. Analysts note the matter is more political judgment than settled law, with the White House aiming to counter Clarke’s credibility on broadcasts and in forthcoming books.
