(Please note that the concern he was speaking of was, to what level is worldwide Islam prepared to police its own - is it willing to continue pumping out adherents of the militant wings?)

I think rather more of Rumsfeld (the author of the above, for anyone else who doesn't know this already) than the people who are closer to Bush. I would be much happier if Rumsfeld were VP and Cheney were Sec'y of Defense than vice versa.
As to your second paragraph, Richard Clarke has suggested that there is a civil war going in Islam. I'm not suggesting that this idea started with him, or that he's it's leading proponent, but I think this is the argument that moved him to write his book, and that he's probably disappointed that the media focused on the pre-9/11 events more than everything he had to say in that regard.
