James

Confused or Sell Out

Revisado: 07-10-04

What a sell out. He is obviously confused or a sell out. But don't be misled. If there is any amount of telling secrets of national security, this book would not been printed at least not for years to come.

The most informative aspect is in "reading between the lines." James Bamford tells about the many years of threats planned on the US prior to President Bush's presidency but puts blame on President Bush. A book that uses facts to legitimize fiction or at the very least a bruised ego. He exposes his own failings to practically understand limitations of individuals and governmental agencies - of course; he could have done it better.

Let?s get intelligent and use more critical practical thinking and realize humans are limited and flawed in their abilities. As such, I recognize the author's work and take his criticism with a grain of salt. I was left asking the question: What wasn't in the book? How about Sadam?s breaking of a cease fire and treaty, the attacks on American military, Iraq's breaking of international laws, Iraqi support of terrorism, the French, German and Russian roles in breaking the "oil for medical and food" agreement to supplement their economies, the philosophical, religious, etc. reasons nations went and go to war.

Summery: Grossly lacking, emotionally fueled, and self serving to the author. A book that is difficult to put down if you paid for it either for its story (the emotional impact of the events) or for its inadequacies.
