While at the new york times, the author 'got away' with lies, innuendo, misstatements, and untruths that he believed he could pass along to the readers as unbiased reporting and news. Under his supervision, reporters were uncovered as fiction writers and the truth about his political agenda was made known. As a result, he was forced to leave in shame. Now for him to try to re-write history again is a mistake. He doesn't get two bites of the apple. We are aware of his campaign to undermine the values and traditions upon which our country was founded. He has no shame and is an embarassment to to the journalistic profession. The book is an attempt to elevate his low standing and to recover from the shame that has been heaped upon him. Shame on you howell.
