I've already read it. Bought it the day it came out. I happen to disagree with its propsitions, and in fact I found it to be obviously biased - hardly a good journalistic endeavor. He dismissed - in fact, failed to even talk about - some of the opposition to Bush's actions. That of course is his perogative since it's a book and not a newspaper article, but it does point to the fact that Mr. Woodward obviously had a bias and was writing to that bias in this instance. It should also be noted that since the book was written, a LOT has happened which Mr. Woodward could not predict. I think first off it would be interesting to see what he'd write today.
Also, let's get one thing straight about Bob Woodward's access to information. The Bush whitehouse is certainly not going to tell a reporter "we'll lie, cheat, steal, anything, as long as we get a war." As long as Bush and his people have been to choir practice and are all singing the same tune, they can give out false information all day long.
