I would like people to comment on what I am about to say. I read The Looming Tower and the author Lawrence Wright paints Richard Clarke in a favorable light, one of the very few government people - from both administrations - he does this too. What is the real deal concerning Richard Clarke?

What is the real deal concerning Richard Clarke?

He may have been wise and alert in both administrations, but he still slammed W and Co. in his book and bashed them to no end on his talk show tour. As a reward, he is now a "terror expert" for ABC News. I think the deal with Richard Clarke is that he's looking out for Richard Clarke.
