It's a Circular Firing Squad of Flying Attack Monkeys!

Brad DeLong's Webjournal reports on the long, long list of administration officials contradicting each other while trying to attack Clarke.

Brad didn't list Frist declaring Clarke a perjurer on the Senate floor and a "few hours after accusing Clarke of perjury, he admits that he has no idea -- not just no idea whether he perjured himself, which is a fairly technical question, but no idea whether there were any inconsistencies at all."

Sen. Bob Graham -- former Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence and Co-Chair of the Joint Committee in question -- adds "I concur with Senator Frist's call for de-classification of Richard Clarke's testimony to the Joint Inquiry. To the best of my recollection, there is nothing inconsistent or contradictory in that testimony and what Mr. Clarke has said this week."

Then the White House, after flatly accusing Clarke of lying about a meeting with the President since Sunday, denying it even took place, on Friday retracts that and says "We are not denying such a meeting took place. It probably did."
