[I don't mean to pick on Richard Clarke, and will give his office (or, for that matter, Clarke defenders) a right of reply. At the same time, it seems that we should hold government officials to a high standard of accuracy, particularly when there's always the danger of exaggeration and scaremongering to (a) make yourself seem more important and thereby fatten your paycheck at your next (probably private sector) job, (b) increase funding for your own .gov fiefdom and those run by your friends, and (c) argue for new, intrusive, and arguably unwarranted regulations imposed on technology firms.
