Subtitle: 'The Documents that Reveal How Bush Sold Us a War'.

From the front cover:

'''... horrible poisons and diseases and gases and atomic weapons.'
-George W. Bush

From the back cover:

'As the world concludes that President Bush had little justification for his war on Iraq, Hoodwinked makes publicly available for the first time the primary source documents that show how intelligence on Iraq was consistently distorted, manipulated, and ignored by the administration.

Compiled by National Security Archive analyst John Prados, these documents are reproduced, fully annotated, and placed in the context of a detailed narrative of the events leading up to the conflict. Expanded sections examine the four most contentious issues: the Iraqi nuclear program, unmanned aerial vehicles, uranium from Niger, and the question of Saddam Hussein's links to Al Qaeda and 9/11.

Via these 'smoking gun' documents, Prados offers readers a firsthand view of what may be the biggest government deception since Watergate, bringing out incontrovertible evidence that we were had.

Documents include:
* October 2002 CIA White Paper
* October 2002 letter from CIA Director George Tenet to Senator Bill Graham
* December 2002 State Department/CIA Fact Sheet
* May 2003 CIA/DIA paper on biological warfare production plants
* June 2003 Pentagon press briefing

John Prados, an analyst with the National Security Archive, has spent two decades observing the CIA. He is the author of twelve books, most recently The White House Tapes (The New Press).'

This is a trade paperback edition from The New Press, published in 2004.

If this has been on my shelf for TEN YEARS and I still have no plans to read it, it's probably time to let it go ... :-)

The book will travel with me to New York tomorrow and will be released there.
