Conjecturer on ITRZ

Dan Allen at "The Conjecturer" reviews ITRZ:

I wholeheartedly encourage every person who professes to care about the Iraq War to take this journey with Steven Vincent, and in doing so, open their eyes to matters of deeper importance than both Democrats and Republicans would have you believe.

More ITRZ in the blogosphere

Here are two unusual items: a review of ITRZ on a film blog, Movie Court, and a translation of Steven's FrontPage magazine interview into Portuguese.

We've finished adding reciprocal blogs our the ITRZ blogroll. So far the list is nearly 70 blogs long.

Webmaster's Quote of the Day

Arthur Chrenkoff writes:

Meatriarchy on ITRZ

Justin Bogdanovich at "The Meatriarchy" reviews ITRZ:

The book has been mentioned on a number of blogs, and further roundups (and some reciprocal links) are forthcoming.

THE NY SUN GOES INTO THE RED ZONE

She is tall, glamorous, speaks Mandarin Chinese and for nearly 20 years served as a case officer for the CIA.  No, she's not the model for "Alias'" Sydney Bristow--but my friend Martha Sutherland, who a few years back retired from the Agency to become a Manhattan-based dealer of contemporary Chinese art.  Why do I bring her up--besides introducing you to a fascinating person?  Because when the New York Sun asked her last week to nominate her favorite books of the year, one of her choices was--you guessed it--In the Red Zone.  Xie, xie, Martha.

THE WSJ LOOKS AT THE RED ZONE
