State of War by James Risen

Have you read it? Do you intend to read it?

1. I intend to read the review in NY Review of Books. nt

2. Those who have read it:

What effect did it have on you? Did you find it credible? Did any of it shock you? Did it disappoint?

[BurtWorm]

3. I'm in the middle of it

and I'm shocked no one is talking about it. I don't understand why. It sparked the NSA wiretapping story, but there's much more in it than that, including more evidence that the Bush administration had decided before 9/11 to invade Iraq and used 9/11 as a pretext. Last May when the Downing Street minutes were published in the Times of London, DU (like the rest of progressive America) was up in arms, believing the administration was damned. What has happened to us? Have we had the fight ignored out of us?
