That seems fair enough I suppose.
So, if Clarke had come out and said that, oh let's say Iraq, posed a clear and imminent danger, he should be strung up if he tried to recant?
You've held jobs. If you want to keep your job sometimes you are told to tow the line. If I worked for Bush, I'd say the same for as long as I worked for him. I don't think that lessens my credibility, it just suggests I prefer employment.
I used to work for a big box retailer. While we were not told to lie about various features of the extended warranty, we were expected to highlight the positive and ignore the negative. If that's not the line of work you can handle, you quit. If I had wrote a book about it, it wouldn't be less true.
