Clancy Opposes Obama Policies

A former staffer for President George W. Bush is cited in the Chicago Tribune in an article criticizing the overuse of drone attacks on terrorists. Marc A. Thiessen says we should be capturing many of those terrorist leaders and sweating important information out of them.

I happen to be reading Tom Clancy's latest novel Locked On now. That very point is made therein, albeit in a thinly fictional context. The novel has a 2011 publication date which means the material was written in 2010 at the latest.

Interesting question: does Clancy have access to Bush staffers or do they read Clancy? It wouldn't surprise me if both were true. One thing is clear in the novel, Clancy is no fan of Obama administration policies.
