From the Center for American Progress: CLAIM #1: Richard Clarke had plenty of opportunities to tell us in the administration that he thought the war on terrorism was moving in the wrong direction and he chose not to. – National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, 3/22/04 FACT: Clarke sent a memo to Rice principals on 1/24/01 [...]

From the Center for American Progress: ENERGY TASK FORCE MET AT LEAST TEN TIMES: In 2001, Vice President Cheney formally convened his Energy Task Force “10 times between January 29, 2001, and May 16, 2001.
