repairing his reputation after helping to create the mythos of the administration with that first stupid book.

Maybe he wrote the "fondling" book to gain their confidence so he could write the "real" book!

Maybe that's why * wouldn't meet w/ him. Got wind, this book before the midterms no less would be true.

12. That's exactly what I was thinking. He's SO trying to save his legacy. |
|
But if he's got explosive info, then more power to him. It will help to partially repair Woodward's legacy. But he needs to deliver.

with people telling him what an ass he was for believing the bushies, I think he sees how he got played and is not attempting to set the record straight.

Woodward says it is going to get worse. In private, these thugs know this, but says things will get better.
Basically, Woodward is calling * on all the lies.

24. See Current Mother Jones for abbreviated lies of Bush & Co |
|
There are really so many reasons why they must step down, and it's all spelled out in the current issue of Mother Jones. There's pictures, and a timeline there, and graphics to tell when the public was told the truth versus when they (Bush&co) knew the truth. (For the text-challenged Americans, I think this would be a good choice!) Boy, you really know things are bad when you need a key to tell you what is going on in a story, even though you lived through it, as all of us have. It has felt like some kind of hell.
I hope you are right Texas Explorer!

86. I don't know that he has ever said exactly how |
|
but he has not made it a secret that he was given that access. That includes info that he had and did nothing with concerning Plame too. That made the news when he was questioned back then about his contacts in the WH and what he knew about Plame.
He has now said in at least two interviews (again on the Today Show today) that the things he was asking questions about to the WH and the various departments WERE secret documents. He talks about secret reports from the intelligence agencies that contradicts what blivet** was saying out loud in his speeches.
Interesting to note that I have not heard that Woodward had any level of security clearance, just as it has never been confirmed that Tony Snow has any either.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 07:05 PM by RamboLiberal
Woodward is on King - don't know how much more info will come out. Also on Hardball I believe. You know Woodward will be all over the cable nets this week.
I'm at work so I haven't seen 60 Minutes yet - thanks for this thread.
BTW, I have the book. A quick peruse didn't show anything that new to me that we at DU didn't know, but with the past 2 books being pro-Bush and with the other books out there like Fiasco, Hubris, One Percent Doctrine, Blood Money, Imperial City, etc. and what we see everyday on TV from Iraq (and I've noticed more coverage and I especially give kudos to Michael Ware on CNN) it is drip, drip, drip. What is interesting is the tidbits like Condi's meeting on 7/10/01 not known to 9-11 commission, Laura and Card trying to get Rummy fired, Kissenger trying a re-do on Vietnam with Iraq, Poppy's feelings, Bandars involvement, etc.
I think this and the Foley scandal will help us get a Dem congress in '06 and hopefully a Dem president in '08.

71. from an Amazon review |
|
One thing that jumped out at me was the raw statistic that attacks against US forces are currently occurring almost quarter-hourly, and of course it's not news but shocking to hear again how radical Islamists are flocking to Iraq from nations thousands of miles removed, all for the chance to secure for themselves a "martyrdom" as they conduct assaults on American forces. - Ellie Reasoner http://www.amazon.com/State-Denial-Bush-Part-III/dp/0743272234/sr=8-1/qid=1159747858/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-1843697-5977734?ie=UTF8&s=books

80. wonder how Christopher Hitchens feels about his arch enemy |
|
running this war he loves so much. http://www.amazon.com/Trial-Henry-Kissinger-Christopher-Hitchens/dp/1859843980/sr=1-28/qid=1159755518/ref=sr_1_28/002-1629078-8045634?ie=UTF8&s=booksHitchens called Kissenger the emanation of "official evil" and a liar who should be tried for war crimes. And now, that very man is running the war Hitchens thinks those of us on the left who don't support it are idiots. Would love to get him sober and ask him a few questions...with his hands tied behind his back so he can't flip me off.
