Bob Woodward’s Fantasy By Macranger on 9/11 Michael Leeden at NRO’s The Corner: “There doesn’t seem to be much interest in Woodward’s book here, and for good reason. Anyone who thinks he knows what other people are thinking, especially in situations he didn’t witness—which is after all what most all Woodward books are all about—is not to be taken seriously. I haven’t read a Woodward book since I reviewed his thing on Casey, which famously contained an account of a sort of conversation he claimed he had with the stroke-stricken director of central intelligence in the hospital. Woodward was scheduled to go on Nightline, and earlier that day Ted Koppel called me and asked what I would ask Woodward. “Ask him to describe the room,” I said. “You know, what was Casey wearing? Were there lots of flowers? What color were his pajamas, that sort of thing…” And Koppel did. And Woodward froze, deer-in-the-headlights. Then he said he couldn’t discuss it because it would “reveal sources.” He couldn’t discuss it because he wasn’t there. He was the source himself. I’m not going to read this one either. Nuff said.

Kerri attacks a true war hero, how dare that scum ball does that. McCain's criticism also elicited a strong response from Democratic Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 presidential nominee and a potential 2008 candidate. "He must be trying to burnish his credentials for the nomination process," said Kerry, who labeled McCain's comments "flat politics and incorrect."
