Could 9/11 Have Been Prevented?
My thoughts on that are here.

The first sentence of your article is wrong. Richard Clarke said explicitly that he thought 9/11 could probably have been prevented ("there was a chance"). It's in an interview with Julian Borger of the UK Guardian, March 23, 2004. Granted he contradicts himself one sentence before saying that, then contradicted himself again during his Commission testimony, then contradicted himself yet again in his book. But that didn't prevent him from saying it.

He was asked point-blank by former Sen. Slade Gorton during the 9/11 commission hearing, and he said, "No." He may have said otherwise elsewhere, but he certainly told Gorton and the world "no."
