No. Not an additional dime in the pocket of someone who subordinates our national security to his profit.

I think I'd file that one under "life's too short." But I'd probably enjoy the snark, so if you do get it please share.

Absolutely. I'd like to hear intelligent analysis of the book, and what I know so far suggests we should minimise our contribution to the author's income.

Talking with Perky Couric the other day, Risen said the leakers, (I paraphrase from recollection), "really, really believe they were patriots." Steal the book, and really, really believe you're not a thief, eh...?

Count me with BlogDog. Want more of this crap? Reinforce the behavior by buying the book.

I'm of two minds on the whole thing. I dont know what the book really says without actually reading it and fundamentally I think that even if I disagree with someone they should get paid for their work - especially if I'm going to use it as source material for a snarky research laden post.

On the other hand by my reading it, you wont have to. Its my way of sacrificing myself by throwing myself on a literary hand grenade to save the rest of you.

I think the best way to fight this stuff is with sunlight. The best way to destroy the left is to expose their ideas with reason and ridicule.

Buy the book and read it ONLY IF you can deduct it as a research book. If you can't take a tax deduction on it, then get it from the library or take Kerry's advice. Then report what you find.

I'd like to hear your snarkish view of it, certainly. Throwing yourself on a grenade might be more fun though. However, using Bleak House math if *you* get the book and read it and your interested readers *don't*, there is a huge net savings of both money and sanity! (is there a way for us to contribute to your therapy fund?)

Split the difference, buy it used.

Borrow it from the public library and Xerox it, Frank.

There's always a way...

That's it! If you can get it and do your stuff without letting the writer get a dime doubleplusgood.
