The authors of this (very interesting and informative) book were NSC apparatchiks and knew Clarke well... see pages 230-33:

They seem to like him, generally, but still he comes off sounding as an ambitious empire-builder, and a bit of a nut. Quote:

"It is no exaggeration to say that one person or another at the cabinet or subcabinet level or in the top NSC staff urged the national security advisor to fire Clarke almost every month".

At any rate, after having presided for so many years over US anti-terrorist efforts this guy has balls to cast stones out of his glass house... He approved Bush on anti-terrorist policies (when he thought that served his own interests) - and he didn't resign over the Iraqi campaign.
