Woodward's New Book
Loyal readers will recall that I mentioned that Bob Woodward has a new book coming out next month on the Bush Administration's handling of the war in Iraq and the continued war on terrorism (note that these two things are separate).
Despite the snippets that Dick Clarke has rightly pointed the American press to, Woodward's last book, "Bush At War," was an extremely positive take on the Administration, primarily because his sources were exclusively... the Administration!
But I hear his next book will not be so helpful to Bush, per Lloyd Grove, formerly of the Washington Post:
Fit of conniption: I hear that "Plan of Attack," supersleuth Bob Woodward's still-secret study of President Bush's war on terrorism, will be very bad for the Bush reelection campaign - which is still reeling from gun-toting former terrorism chief Richard A. Clarke's critique of Bush, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and other administration figures in "Against All Enemies."
Woodward's book, to be released next month, will receive not only a multipart series in The Washington Post, but also the Mike Wallace treatment on "60 Minutes" April 18 - when I am absolutely confident that the common corporate ownership of CBS and Woodward's publisher, Simon & Schuster, will be mentioned.
