The real book on DFGOTP

Back in 2005, the incomparable Athenae of First Draft compiled some of the best blog posts on our subject for a book entitled Special Plans. As the publicity tour gets under way for the DFBOTP, starting with the profile on Sunday's 60 Minutes, her post at Firedoglake is worth a read:

That’s what truly enrages me about the information we all dug up: That despite all that work, despite all that information widely available discrediting this man on any number of levels, Feith remains someone worthy of paying a tidy sum to continue to spew his nonsense for the American people (a sum he claims, by the way, to be donating to the veterans of his war, which is the very least he could do). He should be giving his side of the story from a witness stand in the Hague, not from the comfy chair beside Tim Russert or Chris Matthews. He should be unemployed, not teaching at Georgetown.

The guy’s never gonna miss a meal. The Congressional report published last February said that what Feith had done was inappropriate but not illegal, something Feith's defenders hailed at the time as a major exoneration, “not illegal” being the highest honor to which a Bush public servant can aspire these days. The war is going on and on, even as information continues to come out about how it was planned (or not, as the case may be).

One presumes that DFGOTP will be showing up in the usual places to shill his ass-covering tome. Jon Stewart? We have high expectations.
