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???

Yes, Porter Goss has the strength to go after Clark for perjury. Remember Martha Stewart's perjury conviction for lying to federal investigators???----well Clark could go down for lying to Goss's committee. Goss has the classified testimony of what Clark said. My guess is that Clark doesn't have a clue what exactly he said then, and
Goss has the classifed transcripts. I also think that Clark never dreamed that anyone would ever catch him in all his contradictions, since he is borderline psychotic in imagining his own importance in the universe.

Clark now has to hire a lawyer right away, and sweat out whether there is a perjury conviction coming. Any decent lawyer will tell Clark to shut up immediately and to make no further public statements of any type. We'll see if Clark takes his lawyer's advice. Remember Martha didn't, and that led to her downfall.

He'll probably just fade away like Wilson and O'Neill after a few weeks. And then there'll be another.

If Clarke goes in front of a current committee and swears his book statements he is now repeating before the committee are true yet his 2002 Congressional hearing testimony is not true then Clarke is guilty of deliberate and wilful perjurous testimony before Congress.

Clarke cannot have it both ways and as he is now also a media consultant while testifying he is in direct conflict of interest and actually getting financial benefits for testifying.

Lets have Sean Hannity go testify as a terrorism expert while working for ABC and FNC.

Same deal Lucille!

Several things are true about Richard Clarke:

He is yellow about military action.

He lies with deliberate gay abandon.

He gets paid by all sides at once.

Viacom, Simon & Shyster, CBS, 60 Minutes, ABC, and whoever is possibly paying his "expenses" while he shills for John Kerry while working for ABC,

He is a whore for any buck lying in an alley.

He is a lifelong Republican, just like Sarah Brady and Carolyn McCarthy are.

He is in deep stuff.

And it will get much deeper fast.
