[extropy-chat] Bob Woodwards book - Plan of Attack

[Brett Paatsch]

I just finished reading Bob Woodwards book _Plan of Attack_  I'd heard that both the Bush and Kerry campaigns were supportive of it and thought that Bob Woodward of Watergate fame might do a reasonable job of inpartially reporting the facts. Michael Moore didn't really work for me. 

Some reviews here:

Anyone else read this?

I found it fascinating the way Woodward was able to report what Bush had said (he'd interviewed Bush and a lot of the players personally) while leaving it to the reader to make their own judgement on whether Bush was decisive or a fool. Imo, pretty much either interpretation could be drawn depending on the readers predisposition to Bush. That's canny political writing.
