President-King is not a bad read. But it is not new. Makes some good points but I don't consider Reagan to have been a bad actor, himself, nor do I consider Rumsfeld to have necessarily been a bad actor either. Recall on 9/10, he appeared ready to blow the lid on the missing/mis-appropriated military $$ - then 9/11 happened and Congress couldn't throw enough $$ at the WOT. Now, Cheney, on the other hand .... This was written almost 2 years ago in its original form, so it is kind of a re-tread.
