You're thinking of someone else. I've read every Clancy book except the most recent one and in no book has he ever made such a statement, and I can't imagine that he said that in the most recent one. He's the most arrogant person I've ever met, and he doesn't seem to like India much, but he's never said such a thing. He has discussed the Gandhi assassination, but only in the context that it was the ultimate betrayal from the viewpoint of a Secret Service agent - which is what they think of that assassination, it was a quite accurate portrayal of those thoughts. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
