Hey Crimson:
You know the story on that background transcript, right?
Reporters get to go to background briefings, which are STRICTLY off the record. There they get to meet the people and know the story, but are not allowed to quote it or anything. This way, people feel like they can say different things off the record. Now, FOX goes, records the briefing, and then POSTS A TRANSCRIPT ON THEIR FRONT PAGE OF THE INTERNET SAYING WHAT IT IS!
It's kind of hard to talk bad about Clarke when he's been THE counterterrorism guy for 4 presidencies. Cheney said that Clarke had never really been in the loop: Well, Clarke actually was the loop.

Um, I JUST said that Angle ASKED the White House for permission to post the contents of the interview and THEY SAID YES.
| FoxNews.com article in question |
WASHINGTON — The following transcript documents a background briefing in early August 2002 by President Bush's former counterterrorism coordinator Richard A. Clarke to a handful of reporters, including Fox News' Jim Angle. In the conversation, cleared by the White House on Wednesday for distribution, Clarke describes the handover of intelligence from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration and the latter's decision to revise the U.S. approach to Al Qaeda. Clarke was named special adviser to the president for cyberspace security in October 2001. He resigned from his post in January 2003.
