1. Clarke is the real deal.
2. What he says is convincing.
3. What he says makes the Bush team look very bad.
4. What Cheney says about Clarke is a pack of lies.
My friend's parting comment: "Do I really still have to be for these guys?"

I admit that I haven't yet had time to read up on this as much as I would like, and I have no reason to doubt Clarke (I did doubt O'neil because I thought he was a boob), but I hesitate to believe him whole heartedly due to the fact that that the guy has an incentive to spruce up the truth in order to sell books.
