State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration, written by James Risen, describes in details the mistakes that were made in a time of crisis. Not much is known though on how liable the sources James Risen uses are, since they were kept confidential for various reasons. Most of the blame is placed upon the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and CIA Director George Tenet; however, some blame is also placed on President George Bush. Personally I believe that this shouldn't be and even after reading James Risen's book I still believe that. Yes it outlines crucial mistakes that were made, but with the knowledge the president had at the time of his decision, those choices were the most suitable.
