Clarke to testify..... Richard Clarke, the former counterterrorism chief in the Bush White House, is to testify Wednesday afternoon before the commission. He is scheduled to address the panel after Samuel Berger, who served as national security adviser to President Clinton Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage will follow Clarke's testimony. Clarke has ignited a firestorm with his assertions that the Bush administration failed to recognize pending terror attacks against the United States and that the president focused too much on Iraq after September 11 -- charges that the White House has vigorously disputed. Commission member James R. Thompson reads a copy of Richard Clarke's book, "Against All Enemies," on Wednesday in the hearing room. The release this week of Clarke's book, "Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror," coincided with the public hearings in Washington, adding a new layer of political intrigue to the sessions. The hearings come roughly eight months before the general election. Bush is already lauding his stewardship of the nation's security, while Democrats are questioning it. At Tuesday's hearing, new light was shed on military strikes that were considered but never executed against Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, along with failed diplomatic efforts to thwart terrorism. Under tough questioning, key figures in the Bush and Clinton administrations testified they did everything they could to protect the United States against terrorism. That stand was challenged by some commission members, who suggested neither administration was willing to take tough steps until after September 11. "The fact that it's unpopular, that it's difficult, that our allies are not necessarily with it, shouldn't deter a president who believes that what we have is a serial killer on our hands," thundered commission member Bob Kerrey, a Democrat and former U.S. senator from Nebraska. Kerrey spoke after former Defense Secretary William Cohen described the challenge of getting world leaders -- and Congress -- to recognize the threat posed by al Qaeda and bin Laden before September 11. Cohen told the commission that the Clinton administration debated whether to launch airstrikes to kill bin Laden on three occasions in 1998 and 1999, but decided not to because of doubts about the intelligence and concerns about killing civilians. "There were three occasions. Each time, the munitions and people were spun up," Cohen told the commission. "They were called off because the word came back, 'We're not sure.' " Allegations addressed Members of the 9/11 commission listen to testimony. Various speakers addressed Clarke's book directly and indirectly Tuesday. Secretary of State Colin Powell appeared to be speaking to Clarke's charges when he defended Bush's handling of al Qaeda threats before September 11, saying the president wanted a "thorough, comprehensive" strategy to battle the terror network. "The president by word and deed made clear his interests and his intense desire to protect the nation from terrorism," Powell said. "He frequently asked us to do more. He decided early on that we needed to be more aggressive in going after terrorism and especially al Qaeda." Likewise, former Clinton officials defended the antiterrorism policies of their boss.
