"So, what does someone have on Clarke?"
I'm curious too. I haven't read the book yet and probably won't. But it's been dissected pretty darn well and is apparently full of contradictions, factual errors, and misinterpretations (like Condi not knowing about al-Quaeda). So why is this guy, a 30 year civil servant, who by all accounts was a hard worker (but arrogant), working a very tough assignment, with some successes (and many more failures), coming out with this kind of trash? It could just be he feels partly responsible for 9/11 and wants to blame shift, is in it for the $ to sell his book, or somebody put him up to it, or a combination of reasons. But it's worth looking in to. 10 years from now he might look back and say "I really soiled my career when I wrote that book". He may even feel that way tomorrow.

In may be less of what someone has on Clarke, but more what someone has given him - I'm thinking George Soros and big bucks.
