There is an excerpt in today's Washington Post. Will the pen prove mightier than the sword?


And next week is a new biography "Soldier: The Life of Colin Powell."


"State of Denial," as the Daily News has reported, skewers the Bush White House as riven with jealousies and rivalries that ignored warnings over Iraq, with Defense Secretary Rumsfeld at the center of the infighting.

Hawks will be holding their breath as they await Powell's version of his battles with Rumsfeld and Vice President Cheney over planning the Iraq war, and Powell's infamous UN presentation of flawed evidence claiming to prove Saddam Hussein had WMD.

In recent weeks there has been a parade of tell-alls critical of the Bush administration's handling of the war, its planning and its aftermath.
Among the most recent tomes were damning titles like "Imperial Life in the Emerald City," about life in Baghdad's Green Zone; "Hubris," detailing planning screwups before the war; "Fiasco;" "The One Percent Doctrine" and "The Looming Towers."
