UPI: 'DOD May Not Publish Woodward Interviews With Rumsfeld'
United Press International (UPI) reported October 2, 2006, that "The Pentagon has not yet decided whether to publish the transcript of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's interviews" with Washington Post Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward, excerpts of which were used in Mr. Woodward's new book, State of Denial: Bush at War Part III.
The book is causing considerable consternation in the White House, State Department and Pentagon, and widespread debate in the traditional media and the blogosphere.
UPI noted that "State of Denial" "alleges there was an effort inside the White House led by Chief of Staff Andy Card and supported by First Lady Laura Bush and soon-to-be Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to force Rumsfeld to resign." See "Bush chief of staff urged Rumsfeld be fired: book. Also see "Andrew Card Responds to Bob Woodward's Claim of Confused, Divided Bush Administration."
