Chris Mathews just said he is going to ask Richard Clarke to give a narrative of what happened on 9/11. The guy that stayed in WH while the others fled, and ran things from the situation room was Richard Clarke. He was the guy we were really relying on that awful day. I was hoping this would get out. I think this is the "counterspin" about who this guy is. David Gergen just said Richard was a wounded guy, and talked about how Clarke put his life on the line that day. I am guessing that the wounded part was a referance to the fact that Clarke lost friends on 9/11. This is great stuff, and certainly supplies an alternative "motivation" to the on the WH is spinning.
