"It is possible that the Jericho contains some uncomfortable truths incorporated into the Jericho storyline or it may not. It all depends on theirresearch and sources. I have always been a big Tom Clancy fan and even though most readers consider his works to be pure fiction, he has been hauled in by the govrnment and questioned extensively about his "research" source(s) because some of his books contained information that was, so dead on the money and was of such a classified nature that the government was sure that he was a security threat. Tom Clancy would never put the security at risk for book sales but I believe that he has no problem incorporating information into his books that the government still has rated as classified but by now is of no real consequence to the safety and security of the country. Specifically, The Hunt for Red October ended with the US in posession of one of a new class of Soviet ballastic submarines. Yes it did happen. In one of his other books he gives specifics on the flank speed of various classes of war ships. His numbers were well above the numbers published by Jane's publications which is universally believed to be the last word in declassified military vehicle and vessel specifications amd performance. I was fortunate enough to have a good friend who was close friends with the third man in the Justice Dept. in a previous administration. This man verified that Clancy's info was correct. So maybe Jericho has some good sources in the government that are passing along information that the government rather not have out there or it may simply be that the government would rather keep us all sheep and never consider the possibility that something like this can happen. We know that there are Soviet nukes that are unaccounted for and can be bought for the right price so this scenario is not out of the realm of possibility."

"Of course, everyone said that these were erroneous, but again, if you believe that, you've got to be naive."
