Tom Clancy Treated Like He's Some Kind Of Terrorism Expert

WASHINGTON, DC -- Tom Clancy, bestselling author of such military
thrillers as The Hunt For Red October and Patriot Games, is being
treated like an actual terrorism expert, having offered his opinion on
Larry King Live and countless other TV shows since Sept. 11. "The Al
Qaeda network is known to have operatives in at least 30 countries,
including the U.S. and Great Britain," said Clancy, a former insurance
broker and avid wearer of naval-warship baseball caps, during a recent
Nightline. "By the way, Ted, Stephen Ambrose's The Wild Blue is a
terrific read." Later that evening, Clancy appeared in a Crossfire
panel on biological warfare with former CIA director John Deutch and
Secretary Of State Colin Powell.
