It is not criminal to print lies in a book, as when the writer puts the words on paper, no oath is sworn out, no affidavit is signed. The book really should be reclassified as fiction, however.

threaten him with a hearing, make him recant, win. Actually put him in front of a hearing, lose.

No, it is not criminal to print lies in a book. But, if it calls in question his prior testimony, then he should be made to answer for it. Put him on record as either admitting he lied (which he won't do) or make him repudiate the core premise of his book.
Either way, he's caught between a rock and a hard place. The question remains whether the Pubbie's have the cajones to do it???

When was he lying?If he lied before the commission or the Congress he can be slammed for perjury.
If he only lies on TV or in his book ,he is just an agenda driven, money grubbing,publicity seeking,book selling,self aggrandizing liar.He'll therefore make a perfect TV anaylst...;)

Was Clarke sworn in before to committee? Did he contradict previously sworn testimony?
