Narrative:

During an ILS approach to runway 28 at cle the local controller cleared another aircraft for takeoff at an intersection of runway 23R and 28, approximately 1000' from runway 28 end. I was within 200' of landing when I saw that an air carrier large transport Y was not going to hold his position on runway 23R. I could tell by his slow takeoff roll that it would be a dead tie at the intersection. I applied full go around thrust, and called for flaps. Just as we went by the intersection we were right on top of the large transport Y. Only later back in the crew room did I find out the local controller had instructed one of my company aircraft to taxi into position and hold on runway 28. The captain checked the final and saw us and held his position clear. The local controller was not doing his job on this day.
