I'm about half way through it and am loving it. While I agree Rumsfeld doesn't come across too well in it (not nearly as bad as the media made it out though) and Bush comes across as no more than someone who utters one-liners and short questions, I think this book is amost 180 deg. opposite from his last two. Check out Plan of Attack and Bush at War. They are vastly different and paint Bush and Rumsfeld totally differently than in State of Denial. Kinda makes me wonder what Woodward's whole point is. I mean, if the theme of State of Denial is the poor planning for Iraq, what made Woodward change his mind since the last book, which was all about the planning for Iraq? Which book is right and which is wrong? He wrote all three.
