Conspiracy theory take three

A couple days ago, I linked to Dilbert who wished conspiracy theorists were right because the alernative was "It’s the only explanation for how the governments of the world could be staffed with morons and yet everything still runs okay, sort of. .."

A similar back handed complement was posted by Richard Clarke about PM's 9-11 book:
....Fortunately, the government is not sufficiently competent to pull off such conspiracies and too leaky to keep them secret. What happened on 9-11 has been well established by the 9-11 Commission. What did not happen has now been clearly explained by Popular Mechanics." — former White House anti-terror advisor "

Of course, Clarke should know, for he is the one who helped President Clinton identify the Alquada terror threat in December 1999, and immediately Clinton took him seriously and advised the government to hold meetings and hold meetings...and hold meetings.....
