According to Power Line the recently released paperback edition of Douglas Feith's War and Decision advertises itself as a Washington Post and New York Times best seller. This in spite of the fact that both papers refused to review the book when the hard cover edition was first published.
'The MSM's decision to ignore War and Decision was understandable. Through the painstaking use of documentary evidence, Feith destroys much of the false narrative the MSM labored so hard to assign to the Iraq war and the decisions surrounding it. The MSM apparently had no substantive response. In fact, Doug said today that, to his knowledge, no one has identified a single factual inaccuracy in the book. Under these circumstances, from the standpoint of the liberal MSM, the best approach was simply to ignore the book. Meanwhile, lefty bloggers limited themselves, as usual, to invective.'
