I imagine that MANY people who have written books started out with an idea in their mind, and by the end of the process, the completed version turned out to be quite different. Also, McClellan indicated numerous times that the writing process was a time of reflection for him, which led him to express the views that appear in the book. I find it interesting that the Bush Administration has said many things -- that McClellan is 'disgruntled,' they are 'puzzled.' they wonder 'why now?' and they have said this is 'not the Scott they know.' NONE of the comments mentioned anything about the things McClellan wrote not being true. If the book was all lies, why wouldn't they say so? Why wouldn't they provide proof - transcripts, recordings, other people coming forward, etc.? Also - this week's blog was a reasoned discussion of the merits of expressing one's views, and whether the timing should be considered as an important factor when deciding on what to make of a book such as this. Instead of name calling, and using obscenities, couldn't you express your views in a similarly reasoned way?

The documents have been located, and McClelllan's book was originally going to present the opposite conclusions. However, no one wanted to publish such a book -- especially by such a bumbling dumbass -- so he went to a publishing house owned by the fascist/socialist George Soros, and suddenly wrote an entirely different book aimed at the vast audience of mindless Bush haters.
