In a move which surprised absolutely no one with any knowledge of the modern infotainment business, Sony Pictures has purchased the film rights to the book on counterterrorism penned by Richard Clarke, who has become the largest thorn in the side of the Bush administration during the hearings on the 9/11 attacks.

Clarke’s literary agent says that nearly every major Hollywood studio called to explore the concept of a film.
