Marcy Wheeler has the deepest understanding of the betrayal of Valerie Plame Wilson’s CIA affiliation of anybody I know, myself included. Anatomy of Deceit is the definitive study of the lengths to which senior Bush administration officials went to destroy a critic and his family. It is a sad tale of abuse of power and treason. — Joseph Wilson, United States Ambassador to Gabon, 1992–95, and author of The Politics Of Truth

Marcy Wheeler’s work embodies the promise of a new media unrestrained by corporate control and driven only by a desire to seek the truth. No one has better explained how this case is not simply about one covert agent but the coordinated efforts of our most respected media and the Bush administration to lie this country to war.—Sam Seder, host of The Sam Seder Show on Air America and co-author of F.U.B.A.R.

Marcy Wheeler is a provocative thinker and a lively writer, and she draws on her highly analytical mind to draw some jarring and genuinely important conclusions about what the Plame affair reflects about our national political discourse and our broken journalistic institutions.—Glenn Greenwald, blogger at Unclaimed Territory and author of the New York Times Best Seller How Would a Patriot Act?

In the best traditions of IF Stone, rather than sharing martinis with powerful friends and offering them confidentiality for gossip, blogger Marcy Wheeler sat in front of her computer in Michigan and sifted through every available political document related to the Valerie Plame story --- and with the help of fellow bloggers around the country, uncovered an amazing tale.. —Digby, blogger at Digby’s Hullabaloo
