Clinton spin: alive and well

Compare this quote:

"All I know is that, at least in my time, more of these things were prevented than occurred. And we tried to stay on top of them and did the best we could. ...[W]hen I was president, far more terrorist incidents were prevented than actually occurred." --Former President Bill Clinton

To this:

"Some of the president's staff and his consultants pressed the case for aggressive action to contain terror at home and attack it abroad. But at the center of the storm, Bill Clinton sat with an unusual imperturbability. Even as he fretted about whether to sign the welfare reform act and brooded about the FBI file, Paula Jones and Whitewater scandals, he seemed curiously uninvolved in the battle against terror.

"Advised that his place in history rested on eliminating the deficit, making welfare reform work, and smashing the international network of terrorists militarily and economically, he remained unusually passive. Around him, his foreign-policy advisers--particularly former trade lawyer Sandy Berger, then serving as deputy national security adviser--seemed to work overtime at opposing tough measures against terror." --Former Clinton advisor, Dick Morris
