I'm about half way through Bob Woodward's book "Plan of Attack". Doesn't matter which side of the fence you happen to pitch you tent on. This is a dynamite book. Seems to me Bob has done an outstanding job of maintaining a journalistic distance and doesn't slant the information either direction.

It takes the reader from the early days of the Bush admin and charts the path to war with Iraq.

This isn't a political thread really. It's history. I'm sure the conservatives will find something to justify their position just as I'm sure the liberals will say this proves just how corrupt the admin is.

My own opinion is that it may be the most accurate history of this slice of our times we will ever see. Moving forward the revisionists for both sides will slant the facts until they aren't recognizable along side the reality. If ya like political history this is a must read.

I've been looking for something to read on the plane flight to Hawaii week after next....may have to check this one out. Heading for B. Dalton's in a bit....

Although I was leaning towards "The Last True Story I'll Never Tell", forgot the author's name.....saw him interviewed on (sorry for this) Al Franken's show the other night. Guy was in the Florida National Guard and tells his experience of service in Iraq.
