I think that the administration tries to either discredit or fully shut-down anyone who has criticism of it. They tried to discredit lots of people like- Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neil, Joseph Wilson and others. One criticism that I thought should have garnered more media attention, was when Cheney said about Richard Clarke, "he was not in the loop" on terrorism. So, if this is true, how smart is that on the administrations part? Our Terrorism czar (for many years) is not "in the loop"....Just plain *beauty* ic. Now even Anthony Zinni-a four star Republican general, former commander of CentCom, and also former special envoy to the Middle East-has written a book, harshly criticizing the administrations reasons for war and their ridiculous execution of it. When will they try to discredit him?
