C&L: The Man Behind the Curtain

Crooks and Liars - The Man Behind the Curtain: "If you haven’t yet read the first two installments (1, 2) of the Washington Post’s four part series on Dick Cheney’s role in the Bush administration, go read them now. They’re incredible. Barton Gellman and Jo Becker do an excellent job telling the behind-the-scenes story of how the Bush administration’s various terrorism-related policies came into being. The articles confirm much of what has been suspected about Cheney’s role and fill in many of the gaps. It’s riveting stuff, and deeply disturbing.

There’s enough stuff in the first two installments alone to fill 100 blog posts, easily. But since I don’t have that kind of time, I want to focus on a few meta-observations."
