book tv now-The Secret Way to War: The Downing Street Memo and the Iraq Wa

Description: In "The Secret Way to War" author Mark Danner argues that President Bush decided to invade Iraq much earlier than he has admitted. The author calls on a transcription of the secret minutes of a July 2002 meeting of senior British foreign policy and security officials, referred to as the Downing street memo, to prove that the Bush administration only agreed to weapons inspections in the expectation that the Iraqis would refuse to cooperate. This event was hosted by the Mechanics Institute Library in San Francisco.

Author Bio: Mark Danner is the author of "The Massacre at El Mozote: A Parable of the Cold War," "The Road to Illegitimacy: One Reporter's Travels Through the 2000 Florida Recount" and "Torture and Truth: America, Abu Ghraib, and the War on Terror."
