Maybe they'll get Charlie Kaufman to adapt?

Cute.

When I read the title of this thread, I was really really hoping it would be an Arthur C. Clarke book. Oh well.....

Nope, that would be fiction.

'Enemies' enlists Robert Redford
After the upcoming "Lions for Lambs," Robert Redford will focus his attention on another political pic. Redford is attached to helm the bigscreen adaptation of Richard A. Clarke's memoir "Against All Enemies" for producer John Calley. . . . Jamie Vanderbilt penned the screenplay, which centers on Clarke, the counterterrorism adviser to three presidents, who charged in his book that the Bush administration prioritized Iraq above threats from Al Qaeda both before and after the Sept. 11 attacks. . . .
