"Your Government Failed You:
Breaking the Cycle of National Security Disasters"
Richard Clarke
|
Planned Remarks:
Its not just Bush and Cheney that are to blame. The system is broken. That's the message in this provocative book. When Richard Clarke apologized for 9-11, he never thought that there would be so many more government failures in so short a time, but climate change, Katrina, the struggle with al Qaeda, the insecurity in cyberspace, and the failure of homeland security all bespeak a larger problem, a systemic failure. Clarke documents the failures and suggests solutions for making government work better in its most important job, protecting us.
