I actually read Joe Wilson's book, which is more than I can say for all those so-called reviewers that are reviewing my book on Amazon without ever having seen the thing.

Ok, I digress.
I did read Wilson's book.

I think I'm reporting this right when I say that Joe Wilson (search) is anti-war, in the sense that he's a diplomat and he says in his book he always believed diplomacy could solve disputes and wars weren't wise or always necessary.

He even said he was against going into Baghdad in '93 to get Saddam.
And the reasons he cites will give you reason to think he would also have been against any war talk leading up to the invasion in '03.

He talked about how it would hurt us in Arab countries, that people would think the worst of us, etc.
So Wilson is married to the secret CIA lady. Think she knows his innermost thoughts on war and Saddam? Yeah, I think she might.

4. interesting title on that article...

[Kagemusha]

8. Gibson is suggesting the CIA does not work for the President?

Well.. wow, that's total news to me. I'm almost speechless.

12. seeing the right lash out at the CIA

takes the blue ribbon at the irony fair.
The CIA as the good guys is a close second.
If we ever take this country back, we need to thank the CIA for their help in this matter...then legislate them out of existence.

9. Couldn't he have come up with a better word...

than "spooks?"

That's not all that is preposterous about that column. What was the administration of the first President Bush but government by "spooks?"

[villager]

10. somehow, when the "spooks" helped arrange domestic assassinations

in the 60's, the rightwingers weren't as nonplussed.

11. Why not, the government is run by kooks right now

Can't get no worse...

13. Strange word coming from that ghoul Gibson.

He really wants to be one of the big boys at faux but he can't measure up. He's not as stupid and out of it as hannity and not as unhinged as olielly. He's been trying real hard lately with that liberals hate xmas shit though.

14. so he doesnt like amazon reviews

and anyone who writes a bad review hasnt actually read his Book?

I guess the lack of sales are hurting him.

15. Here's the link to the Amazon reviews of his "book"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/1595230165/ref=cm_rev_prev/002-1902333-3060036

Many of them are a laugh-riot. And Gibson's book really does look like a piece of crap... the premise alone is a joke.

16. Another thought: the U.S. govt is run by spooks TODAY, so I'm lost on....

Gibson's point.
