"Fiasco" author on now with Franken.
Fascinating and frustrating... how Franks, Bremer amd the gang got this mess started.

I have to read this book.

1. Author is Tom Ricks...
His book details how WE actually built this insurgency.

One example... they would sweep areas and put all the young Iraqi men into detention. In detention, the insurgent-oriented Iraqis would recruit the moderates and other young men who previously had no interest in insurgency. Pretty stupid, huh?
