Risen's Sell-Out Of US Now On

With this review of "State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration," NYT reporter James Risen's sell-out of US interests begins in earnest.

The review starts with an annectode that names an Iraqi woman from Cleveland who the CIA sent to Iraq to ask her brother about the country's nuclear program. What good will come of this? How must she feel about the Baathist remnants knowing her name and hometown?

On a larger scale, what good can possibly come about a book about wartime intelligence written while the war is still going on? Risen has put personal profit and Bush-hatred ahead of country, ahead of the security of our troops, ahead of successful execution of the GWOT. And the NYT is his bedmate in this scandal.

Their pleasant enough story this morning is mere window dressing; this book reveals the true soul of the NYT.
