ANOTHER 19 - a new book by Kevin Ryan

[Peter Lemkin]

Hopefully Clarke's next interviewwill be part of legal proceedings in which he is a defendantanswering for his failures related to 9/ 11. When that happens,questions that should be posed to him include the following:

1. Is the COG plan that you and Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George H.W. Bush, Kenneth Duberstein, and James Woolsey created, and that you implemented on 9/ 11, still in effect?
   
2. 2. Do you have any information on how your friends in the UAE royal family used the terrorist network BCCI after they bought it
   
3. 3.Do you have any explanation for how you could have predicted in 1998, at the same time that you updated the COG plan to be a response to a terrorist attack, that America's enemies "will go after our Achilles' heel" which is "in Washington. It is in New York."?
   
4. ​4. When you met with UAE Defense Minister Al-Maktoum in February 1999, just days before the CIA planned to kill or capture Bin Laden as he was meeting with UAE royals, who else did you meet with?
   

1. 1. 5. Why did you vote down the CIA plan to kill or capture Bin Laden while he was hunting with UAE royals in February 1999?
      6. Why did you expose the CIA's secret plan, without approval from the CIA or the president, to kill or capture Bin Laden in March 1999 as he was meeting with UAE royals again?
      7. Don't you think those two actions on your part were far more detrimental to the United States than any of your recent, vague speculations?
      8. Did you communicate with NSA Director Michael Hayden between January 2000 and the attacks of 9/ 11? If so, why did you not, in your 2011 interview, accuse him of withholding information on Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar? He has spoken openly of having known about their presence in the U.S. and said that he did share it with the intelligence community.
      9. Why did you, as Counterterrorism Czar, take no action in December 1999 when you and the NSC were given the evidence that Khalil Deek's next door neighbor was operating an al Qaeda sleeper cell in Anaheim, CA?
      10. You appear to suggest that neither you nor the FBI knew that Al-Mihdhar and Al-Hazmi lived with Abdussattar Shaikh, a tested FBI asset, for at least four months in the year 2000. Is that correct and, if so, don't you think that contradicts your claim that "I know how all this stuff works, I've been working it for 30 years. You can't snowball me on this stuff."? 11. On what evidence did you base your May 29, 2001 memo and your 2004 book, both of which claimed that Abu Zubaydah was a major al Qaeda terrorist? What do you say now that the U.S. government has abandoned those claims?
      12. Do you know why the FBI would not allow Abdussattar Shaikh or his FBI handler to be interviewed as part of the 9/ 11 investigation?
      13. These days, when you're talking with your UAE friends in your offices in the UAE, do you ever discuss 9/ 11, the hijackers and plotters who spent their time there, and the UAE money that financed the 9/ 11 attacks?
