Clarke calls Brown a 'ditherer'

Now that I've had a rant (see below) there is a priceless 'You Ask the Questions' with Charles Clarke in today's Indy. He is asked whether he regrets attacking Gordon Brown and says he does regret being candid and then seeing his words portrayed by the media as a personal attack. In the preceding question he was asked what he thinks Brown's biggest mistake has been and says it is indecision. I wonder if he regrets calling Brown a ditherer then, or am I being unfair and twisting his 'candid' words?
