Writers! Who among you will be the first to approach |

ambassador Wilson and Valerie Plame to ghost write a book? I was just listening to Al Franken interviewing Janice Karpinski about Abu Ghraib. She has a new book out about it. She directly blames Rumsfeld for the torture initiatives and some brass in the Pentagon under his command who put out the orders.
It occurred to me that the Wilsons should be writing a book about this to be released after the investigations are completed. I was thinking if Fitz lets us down, maybe a book about the outing of the CIA agent and her husband's blowing of the WMD lie of the Bush administration would be almost as good for exposing this administration and their underhanded dealings as indictments would.

1. I don't think Wilson needs a ghost writer. |
|
Unless he had one for his other book.

3. So you think that maybe a publisher might have this on |
|
the back burner for release? I hope so.

2. I'm sure that they've already been approached |
|
by the major publishing houses, if they haven't taken a deal by now on a book, I doubt they will. The publisher usually chooses the ghost-writer.

I'm going to have to assume that the reaon nothing has come out from them is because of a court gag order. I hope he has it already set to hit the book stores the minute the gag order is lifted.
I think a best seller is the best way for the public to know about this since the MSM seems hesitant to give this matter the attention it deserves. I mean what have you heard about Karpinski other than on Truthout and Randi Rhodes? Her writing a book will give these egregious acts of our administration more exposure.
