"The Way of the World".
It's the title of the newest book written by Pulitzer prize winner Ron Suskind. I can't wait to get my hands on it!
Meanwhile I want to comment on one very risky decision made by Suskind to expose the Bush administration. Suskind writes that sources intimately linked to former CIA director, George J. Tenet, have told him that the CIA was ordered by the Bush Administration (does not point the finger at George W. Bush directly, though it's understood) to fake the story about the weapons of mass destruction, in order to justify the Iraq invasion. Obviously, the White House has denied this and will try every possible way to criticize Suskind as a money thirsty writer, who will profit by "inventing" or writing sensationalistic stories. They have dismissed so far everything thrown at them, why not one more.
Unfortunately for the Bush administration, the weapons of mass destruction theory did not stand for lack of same, and the excuse for the invasion was conveniently changed three times already. The mere fact that no WMDs were found, led to many politicians and writers to research and investigate anything and everything in relation to those non existent weapons. Suskind has gone beyond the investigative process and was able to obtain reliable statements from some people directly under Tenet, incriminating directly Mr. Bush and company with this
ignominious lie and faked plan. Of, course, not without some "complications", such as what happened with Suskind's research assistant, Greg Jackson, who in September 2007 was detained in Manhattan, NY by Federal Agents to interrogate him and to confiscate all his notes, which according to Suskind it violated Jackson's First and Fourth Amendments rights. I see it beyond the rights violation. I see it as a criminal act trying to eliminate any information that would incriminate the culprits. Suskind, in this just published book, achieves with great conviction to educate us about the dangers of extremism at World's level. Extremism that has no limits with lies, racism, plots, religion, gender, and age...The Way of the World, as Suskind calls it.
Will this explosive discovery by the Pulitzer prize winner and acclaimed writer put his life in danger? I don't think so. That would be too obvious, He has taken a calculated risk by being the informer of such news and hopefully he has nothing to worry about, unless of course, he suddenly gets sick with some strange illness, or some "unexpected" accident.

So THAT's what WMD means? Weapons of Mass Destruction???
And to think, when Bush spoke of it years back I thought he was referring to his moronic will and abusive use of power....
...As in, Ways of the Mentaly Demented
