I am currently reading Fiasco, an excellent overview of the current Iraq war, written by Thomas Ricks, longtime Pentagon correspondent for the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. Recommended for anyone who wants to understand exactly what has unravelled in Iraq and how it happened. While the author doesn't appear to have a particular ideological axe to swing, he has turned in a fairly scathing indictment of the arrogance and incompetence of the current administration.
