I saw Clancy interviewed on one of the morning talk shows and from
what I gathered he wrote "Clear and Present Danger" with the idea
in mind that such "unethical" actions will envitably get us into 
hot water.  Point being that he doesn't seem to condone these actions
and was using the book as a way of saying so.
