Former counterterrorism official Richard Clarke emerged as a controversial, outspoken figure at the Sept. 11 investigation hearings. What do you think?

• 

  Clarke is just another crazy conspiracy theorist claiming that the federal government is slow, inefficient, and unfocused.

  I don't think Clarke is lying. He's got a book to back up his claims. What does the White House have? Nothing.

  In this time of crisis, we should stand by the president no matter what. Yes, I know I've been saying that same thing for three straight years now. So?

  Clarke is just mad because he was passed over for a promotion. And because his bosses' indifference to the American public was indirectly responsible for 3,000 deaths.

  Dick Clarke, despite the controversy, still looks amazingly good after all these years.

  Richard Clarke was fixated on, even obsessed with, terrorists and terrorism. Do we really want people like that in our government?
