Praise for Anatomy of Deceit

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 New York Times Best Seller How Would a Patriot Act?
