I agree with Ann's view on the realities behind the Iraq war, but I'm not worried about Clark, nor Shayne's portrayal of his thoughts. Clark has many powers, but omniscience is not one of them: one of the things I like about the LnC version of Clark is that he's human, not a god.
He's been getting what he can from the media while being on the run from the government, and if you just watched TV or hurriedly browsed a few newspapers, you might think Saddam was involved with 9/11 too. Being new to this world and on the run, I think we can cut him a little slack. Being Clark, I'm sure he would think through all the ethical issues before getting involved, and I think that's what Shayne is having him do here.
Very good points, Debbie. So I withdraw my criticisms. Only please show us, before this fic has come to an end, that Clark will be looking out for Al Qaeda instead trying to take out Saddam Hussein, Shayne!
