Kingstowne, Va.: Now today comes Rajiv Chandasekaran's Bush-stinks-in-Iraq book [chat transcript], following up on Tom Ricks and his Bush-stinks-in-Iraq book. Isn't it clear to everyone that The Post reporters on the ground must come back and yell at the editorial writers who backed this war?
Howard Kurtz: Leaving aside your rather simplistic description of two very serious books -- Ricks, for example, focuses on blunders by the U.S. military -- we don't yell at editorial writers and they don't yell at us. They are in the opinion business and we are in the reporting business.
