Joseph Wilson and Richard Clarke’s New Books About Bush’s Failed War on Terror

Joseph Wilson’s The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife’s CIA Identity: A Diplomat’s Memoir

Richard Clarke’s Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror

I highly recommend these new books by two American patriots who served U.S. administrations, both Republican and Democrat, but who decided to stand up for what is right in the face of tremendous duress and humiliation at the hands of the Bush Administration. Not only do each of them have an important message to tell us in this era of political conformity, but each deserve support if only for the courage it took them to face up to the consequences of their rebellions against conventional Bush wisdom.
