>>"had problems with his conscience" ...suggest to me he knew in his heart all along what was happening. If Americans who are outside the loop were able to figure out the Bush administration, how could McClellan be unable to? I think he has been blinded by, first the glory of his job and then the dollar amounts of a book deal. << Steve - I think it's quite likely that he was blinded by the glamour of being in the White House, sure. That would explain why he didn't raise any objections at the time. But are you saying that he doesn't believe what he wrote in the book, and that he just wrote it for the money? If he had wanted to, he could have written a book about what a great leader Bush is, and how he was completely right about everything, and how the nasty Democrats caused all the problems. Such books sell like hotcakes. Instead, he has opened himself up to all kinds of abuse and scorn, which will be heaped upon him by Bush's surrogates as it was upon O'Neall and Clarke before him. - Allen
