<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Oh, balls. I'm sorry, but changing the book's Middle Eastern terrorists to Nietzschean "neo-fascists" constitutes the most blatant exercise of political correctness I've seen in a long time.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Interesting that the decision to change villains was made before Sept 11. Doesn't really make things any better, but at least it wasn't the knee-jerk reaction I thought it to be.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Well, he IS considered on of the top young actors in Hollywood. Only God knows why. I GUESS he banks good coin and gets exposure to impressionable young girls, a demographic Clancy probably wouldn't appeal to otherwise</div>
