Is the only evidence, the evidence cited in the article?
If two people recount the same conversation or the same presentation of information and both put it in writing, is the second person guilty of plagiarism?
If a reporter conducts an interview (not a party to actual events) writes an account based on the interview and then the person who actually was involved writes an account of the events - how do you consider the later guilty of plagiarism?
Certainty is lacking in this accusation, in my opinion and before I would make a charge of plagiarism I would need more than what you presented, including actually reading both books.

If someone stole my work, I would file a lawsuit or seek some other form of recourse. If this is as certain as some think it is, it would be a simple matter to resolve. On so many occasions people would grand-stand about how Bush violated laws, lied, stole, and denied people rights. On every occasion the talk was nothing but talk, and no one every took action. Is that a liberal value - talk, talk, talk and do nothing?
