Charles Krauthammer in The Washington Post today:

...by blaming the government for the deaths of their loved ones, Clarke deftly endorsed the grotesque moral inversion by which those who died on Sept. 11 are victims of ... George Bush.

...This is false. They were all victims of al Qaeda and al Qaeda alone.

Charles Krauthammer in Time, November 17, 2003:
