I came across this other one I'm half way through.

It's an oral history so you get to hear the different voices, which is the interesting part. Here is Richard Clark
> Richard Clarke: That night, on 9/11, Rumsfeld came over and the others, and the president finally got back, and we had a meeting. And Rumsfeld said, You know, we've got to do Iraq, and everyone looked at him - at least I looked at him and Powell looked at him - like, What the hell are you talking about? And he said - I'll never forget this - There just aren't enough targets in Afghanistan. We need to bomb something else to prove that we're, you know, big and strong and not going to be pushed around by these kind of attacks.
> And I made the point certainly that night, and I think Powell acknowledged it, that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. That didn't seem to faze Rumsfeld in the least.
