Crooks and Liars Woodward’s 60 Minutes Interview on
‘State of Denial’:

Wallace: "President Bush's former chief of staff, Andy Card, said the Bush presidency will be judged by three things: Iraq, Iraq, Iraq. Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, reports that. He's just completed his third book on the Bush presidency, 'state of denial.' Woodward spent more than two years, interviewed more than 200 people– including most of the top officials in the administration– and he came to a damning conclusion: That for the last three years, the white house has not been honest with the American public."

Woodward: "The truth is that the assessment by the intelligence experts is that next year– now, next year's 2007– is going to get worse, and in public you have the president and you have the pentagon saying, "oh, no, things are going to get better." Now there's public and then there's private. But what did they do with the private? They stamp it secret. No one's supposed to know. Why is that secret? The insurgents know what they're doing. They know the level of violence and how effective they are. Who doesn't know? The American public."
