Chain Of Command

George Bush may want to wash his hands of all that has gone wrong during the occupation of Iraq but many of the main players in the mishandling of this fiasco are still part of his inner circle. Seymour Hersh's book Chain Of Command (September 2004) is an excellent reveiw of all that went wrong and why and who is involved. The final section summarizes where things stand in the Middle East since 9/11. This is a startling piece of reporting and not very hopeful for the near-term future.

It may be out in paperback soon, hopefully with any relevant updates as this story is continuously unfolding.
