Clarke was a career civil service employee. They need to have 30 yrs. service in order to collect a full pension. When the Bush admin. took over, Clarke had about 28 yrs. seniority. It is typical for a "compassionate" admin. to move aside (or demote) someone with that much seniority instead of firing them (which could take 2 years under gov't rules).
I think it's more than just an interesting coincidence that Clarke didn't bring any of these issues to light until after he had served his 30 years and qualified for pension.
He's collecting his pension, now he has book royalties, and who knows - maybe a good job in a Kerry admin.
I don't think his primary concern is bin Laden, Iraq, or any other terrorist camp.

You know, both of them Clarks suck pretty bad. If my name was Clark, after watching those 2 clowns, I would go for a name change.
