Just saw an item on a book, Warheads: Cable News and the Fog of War, by retired Army colonel Ken Allard, now an MSNBC analyst.
The book came out in September, but I guess it slipped past me at the time, what with the campaigns and all.
The title might lead one to think that it's an attack on the news, from the left--that is, an attack on Fox News and, ultimately, the Bush administration--some of the blurbs make me think that maybe it's OK. Here, for example, is what Ralph Peters, another retired Army colonel, and no liberal, blurbs about Allards's book: "A timely and highly informative insider's look at military retirees struggling to educate the American people in the wartime world of 24/7 news. Unique and revealing."
So I am going to get a copy and see for myself.
