Joel Eskovitz: Bob Graham's book on terror war to hit stores Tuesday
By JOEL ESKOVITZ, [email protected]
September 4, 2004

Passed over yet again as a vice presidential candidate, Sen. Bob Graham will nonetheless get his political moment in the heart of the election campaign with the release of what is sure to be a scathing indictment of the Bush administration's handling of the war on terror.

Graham's book, "Intelligence Matters: The CIA, The FBI, Saudi Arabia and The Failure of America's War on Terror," will hit bookstores Tuesday.

Florida's senior senator has been a frequent critic of President Bush's foreign policy on combating terrorism. He voted against the resolution authorizing force against Iraq, arguing that such an action would divert vital resources away from stopping al-Qaida and other terrorist networks from reconstituting themselves after the invasion of Afghanistan.

The book's content has been kept under wraps, but the overall focus will be on questions the senator has with the nation's intelligence policy. The Miami Lakes Democrat is seen as a particularly insightful critic, with a decade of service on the Senate intelligence committee that culminated with a two-year stint as its chairman and a spot as co-chairman of the congressional inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks.

-snip-
The senator, who is finishing out his third and final Senate term, said he provided Sen. John Kerry's campaign with a manuscript when he was being considered for the No. 2 spot on the ticket.

1. Good. These books are great.
Too bad they're preaching to the choir. I can't get any deluded Republicans to read them.

2. Woo hooo!
Graham has had the goods for 2 years now. I can't wait to see this book -- it will be an important contribution to understanding the state of peril that we face, not only from our sworn enemies but from our own leaders.

I HOPE this wakes more people up.

So many great books hitting the stores! I think I'm just going to endorse my paycheck over to Amazon.com.

3. Graham's stance on the war is why I supported him in the primary
He's always made sense on this issue, he's got plenty of expertise and HE was the one who DEMANDED the intelligence summary be given to congress before the war. The one with the footnotes that it seems nobody but Bob Graham read.

Gonna go pre-order this one

Barnes and Noble

Amazon
