Today's Required Reading

by Liberty and Power

Nice day of reading on L&P, and a nice day of reading in the NY Times. Check out articles by Frank Rich ("'Lawrence of Arabia' Redux") and Niall Ferguson ("The Last Iraqi Insurgency"), as well as a Jonathan D. Tepperman review of Craig Unger's conspiratorial House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties. Whatever your views of these essays, they're worth a look.
