Shelton Book A Humdinger

"Shelton says he liked former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield personally, but he says he was arrogant, would not listen to military advice and was responsible for a flawed Iraq war plan, 'a fiasco.'

“There was absolutely no link between (Saddam,) and 9/11,” Shelton writes.

He accuses Bush of 'intentionally deceiving the American people.'

He is critical of the Central Intelligence Agency. He writes John McCain has 'a screw loose.' He has no use for Al Gore, which gives Shelton credibility with me.

He tells of attempts to kill bin Laden that were rejected by our State Department.

I found the story about Clinton’s aides losing the 'biscuit' funny to me, but misplacing the nuclear launch codes is not amusing.

Another story is about a senior Clinton official who proposed letting Iraq shot down a low-flying Air Force U-2. You got to love Shelton’s response."
