Richard Clarke


It’s always interesting hearing people speak in person. Richard Clarke comes off far more personal than I though he would. Of course he managed to scare many in the audience with disaster and terrorist scenarios. I though a few of his arguments where a little overblown, but the core of his message was right. We definitely need to change the character of foreign relations to be more diplomatic and secure likely domestic terrorist threats. After hear him speak I promptly bought his new fiction book, "The Scorpions Gate". I also got the chance to have him sign it “To a fellow citizen”, which he seemed to enjoy as opposed to the usual requested personalization.
