It doesn't just cover the faith-themed intelligence reports, but Bush administration insiders bashing Rumsfield all around.<br /><br />Sheldon:<br /><br />Fall of the House of Bush by Craig Unger did an excellent job of documenting the confluence of neoconservatism and Christian right End Times eschatology on the Bush administration.Hume's Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551684109760430351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11224468.post-3463962467183382182009-05-19T13:57:00.000-04:002009-05-19T13:57:00.000-04:00Revelations (sorry) like this should not be a surp...Revelations (sorry) like this should not be a surprise to us when we have every indication that the actors around Bush were expert manipulators of him, i.e. Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rove, Addington, etc.<br /><br />Inserting biblical quotes and showing soldiers praying were classic manipulation techniques which the team constructing these documents knew would evoke strong emotion.
