The key part of the story is this:

Ron Suskind, author of The Price of Loyalty...

This book was not written by O'Neill. It was written by Suskind. And what does he know? For that matter, what does O'Neill know? He did not even know what was going on in the Treasury Dept., which was his charge. How the heck can he claim to be an authority on the President's Iraq policy?

NEWS FLASH!!! If O'Neil was known to be #1 such a disloyal character; and #2 on his way out the door because Bush was going ot get rid of him in Dec 2002---4 months before the Iraq war BTW, why would anyone assume that PO'N would be told anything hush hush??

To get an angle for this book they really had to reverse engineer what they could say negative about Bush--due to the fact that he was history 4 months b4 the war.
