I have that book in my library.

Grieder writes for THE NATION weekly magazine and is still uncovering all sorts of financial scams that are now going on under Bush.

Who will tell the people........

is another great book, written by William Grieder -- who writes op-ed articles for Rollingstone - and that book gives you a great run down of the Reagan years...........But there are whole chapters that piss your shit off so bad you can't stand it, and want to through the book!  But this book may not be in print anymore, I don't know.

Thanks for the list of "must reads". I'll look into reading some of these.

You're welcome, Spy

Paul O'Neill was/is a conservative and I'm sure there are many things I would disagree with him about (Alcoa's pollution standards being one) but he does seem honest and forthright. He became very disgusted and disillusioned with Bush and Co. after trying to stop them from destroying the economy. The Iraq disclosures are fascinating and just what many suspected. I'm not surprised the media has buried this story, but in my humble opinion it is the smoking gun concerning the war. Or at least one of them.

Thanks for the list and recommendations, Spy!!

I've read a couple of these and will check out the others. As you know, I'm a very avid reader. Have you read "The Price of Loyalty" yet? Very enlightening and an interesting (to say the least) inside view of the evils of this administration.

The Michael Moore  one is published over here, but I haven't seen the others - I'll look out for them. In fact I bought the Michael Moore for my step father for Christmas and he loved it.
