Book Description

October 30, 2005 1590280490 978-1590280492
Here’s a story of espionage, think tanks, power brokers, a drunk nameed "Curveball," and Douglas Feith, the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy whose Office of Special Plans oversaw the enormous manipulations and failures of intelligence that led to the U.S. war and occupation in Iraq.

This is another entry into The Informed Citizen Series, which covers American issues with a voice that does not come from elected officials, the television and radio news networks, or the major print media. In this book, Allison Hantschel (Athenae of First-Draft.com) pulls together blog entries from some of the Internet's most relied-upon bloggers, including Jerome Doolittle, Josh Marshall, Matthew Yglesias, John Aravosis, and many others to fill in necessary details to a key part of the story of how and why the U.S. is in Iraq.

Review

Pulls together informative and entertaining writing of the past five years to track the central role of Douglas Feith. -- David Terrenoire, author of Beneath a Panamanian Moon

Testament to the fact that the new Internet media delivers needed information the mainstream press no longer covers in detail. -- Mark Karlin, Editor & Publisher, BuzzFlash.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Opens your eyes into the murky world of the the US gov, September 12, 2007
This review is from: Special Plans: The Blogs on Douglas Feith & the Faulty Intelligence That Led to War (Informed Citizen) (Paperback)
Politics breeds corruption and Feith and his cronies embody how they are corrupting not just the US but also having negative impact on the world. This book brings this to the forefront in just 134 pages but does it so well. If you didn't know how we're being "done" over welcome to the entrance of a rather large and winding rabbit hole.
