Hints

Will MacAvoy

Richard Clarke

 

 

I welcome these hearings because of the opportunity that they provide to the American people to better understand why the tragedy of 9/11 happened and what we must do to prevent a reoccurrence. I also welcome the hearings because it is finally a forum where I can apologize to the loved ones of the victims of 9/11. To them who are here in the room, to those who are watching on television, your government failed you. Those entrusted with protecting you failed you. And I failed you.
Good evening. I'm Will MacAvoy. This is “News Night," and that was a clip of Richard Clarke, a former counterterrorism chief to President George W. Bush, testifying before Congress in March 24, 2004.

我支持这一系列听证会的原因是:国人能通过听证会更透彻地了解911悲剧为何会发生,并认识到如何才能避免悲剧重演。我支持听证会,还因为我想借此机会作出道歉向911遇难者的家属朋友道歉向在场的各位道歉,向电视机前的观众道歉。政府辜负了你们,受托保护你们的机构与人员辜负了你们,我辜负了你们。
晚上,我是威尔•麦卡沃伊。这里是《晚间新闻》。您刚才看到的是在乔治•布什总统任期内的前反恐事务主管理查德•克拉克的发言片段,2004年3月24日在国会的一段声明。
