Clarke kept insisting the real threat was from Cyber Terrorism.

Dr. Rice thought differently and he was no longer giving the President the daily brief.

My suspicion is that Clarke's ego could not stand that demotion and he left, bitter bitter bitter.

Thanks. Explains the disparity of his remarks in 2002 (praising GWB) and 2004 (bashing him in order to sell his book).
