Call it poetic justice. Doug Feith's book, a fierce defense of the decision to invade Iraq by one of the war's chief architects, came out yesterday. Right in the middle of testimony by Crocker and Petraeus that troops can't be pulled because security in Iraq remains fragile and reversible. Not the most ideal publishing circumstances. We'll watch where he goes on Amazon's sales rank.

Feith's book

It will certainly be grammatically impeccable and well-punctuated. Afew days after terrorsts crashed a jetliner into the Pentagon, where Feith worked at the time, he sent a memo to his staff insutructing them never to split infinitives in anything they wrote for him.
