(2004-04-17) -- A new book about Bob Woodward's new book, Plan of Attack, reveals that President George Bush did not tell some top aides what he had told Bob Woodward in an interview in which he revealed that he didn't tell some top aides about the early stages of planning for a war in Iraq.
The newer of the two books, The Making of Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack, will be released next week, one day after Plan of Attack appears in bookstores. The book reveals that the source of "shocking" quotes which Woodward's book attributes to President Bush, may actually be President Bush himself, who sat down for an interview with Mr. Woodward.
"It's amazing how cold-blooded and secretive Bush is," said the unnamed author of The Making Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack, "First he kept his war plans secret, and then he kept the details of his interview with Bob Woodward secret. This book demonstrates that Bob Woodward is the only man in Bush's circle of friends with whom he can share his deepest secrets."
One chapter in The Making of Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack reveals speculation that the reporter who helped break the Watergate break-in story in the early 1970s may also be the anonymous source, known as 'Deep Throat', who provided much of the information for his Watergate stories in The Washington Post.
"Deep Throat had to be Woodward," said the unnamed author, "Who else has such access to the hearts and minds of our nation's leaders. For more than 30 years, the most powerful people in Washington have trusted Bob Woodward with things they wouldn't tell their own spouses."
