I like Tom Clancy a lot. Rumor has it, he was investigated by the CIA because of his detailed, and accurate accounts of military equipment and espionage activities.

I've always liked that quote.

I remember that in his book "Marine" he lists the people [lots of them by name], ships, units and establishments that helped him. Page after page... I think all the CIA needed to do was read the acknowledgements:p

It's a very good quote... and true in many ways.

Just heard this on the radio on my way home from work, really a bummer. Rainbow Six is one of my favorite books and I enjoyed a lot of his non-fiction works as well. Atleast he passed on with a great legacy, which is more than most can hope for.
