[earthside]

For those of us in the west ... how about a critique of what Woodward said on 60 Minutes tonight.

2. So far...

It's been mostly a rehash of what's come out in the papers, specifically the story in the Washington Post based on Woodward's book. They also mentioned the story that came out today about the Saudi prince pledging to "fine tune" oil prices prior to the US election.

Next up is a story about the "Rock Stars" a group of CIA operatives in Iraq.

3. Watching...my question about Woodward's accounts of

his interviews with Bush, since Bush's handlers are NEVER willing let anything out that is not completely controlled and filtered, how can we believe any of this?

4. He Recorded Them

And Mike Wallace mentioned that 60 Minutes was allowed to hear the recordings, notably also those of the unnamed sources.

5. I'm not saying Woodward's account is false,

but question what Bush was allowed to say to him.
