  About Ron Suskind
Ron Suskind is an author and journalist based in Washington, D.C. His latest book, "The One Percent Doctrine," is a revealing journey deep inside America's battles with violent, unrelenting terrorists -- a game of kill-or-be-killed, from the Oval Office to the streets of Karachi.
Suskind is also the author of "A Hope in the Unseen, An American Odyssey from the Inner City to the Ivy League," (Doubleday/Broadway, 1998), which follows the two year journey of a prickly, religious honor student as he escapes from a blighted, Washington, D.C. terrain to find a home at Brown University.
Suskind has appeared on various television news programs as a correspondent or essayist and is a distinguished visiting scholar at Dartmouth College.

 UNCoRRELATED: Ron Suskind Rides Again
So Suskind (and apparently O'Neill) misrepresented this document, which appears to be a significant part of their case, given that Suskind displayed in on 60 Minutes.
Paul O'Neill wisely withdrew into retirement and obscurity, but Suskind is back to his old tricks, asking his readers to "trust him" on the veracity of sources deep in the Bush administration.
RON SUSKIND: The sources for this book are senior officials within the United States government, past and present, such that each one of the disclosures in the book has been sourced with many impeccable sources.

Suskind's account is fuzzy on some of the legal questions, but he argues that the operation "swept up the suspicious, or simply the unfortunate, by the stadiumful and caught almost no one who was actually a danger to America."
Suskind titles one chapter "Zawahiri's Head," a reference to Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second in command, whom Suskind cheekily dubs "bin Laden's Cheney, the older man who made sure that ideas were carried to action." At least four times in 2001-02, reports reached Washington that Zawahiri had died.
Suskind's portrait of Tenet, respectful but far from adulatory, depicts a man compromised by "insecurity and gratitude" to a president who chose not to fire him after 9/11.

Ron Suskind, author of the recent controversial book on former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, and Michael Barone, senior writer for the U.S. News & World Report, argued politics in a heated discussion as part of the Annenberg series "Dean's Open Forum," on Thursday.
Barone and Suskind slightly differed on the issue of a campaign's unified message in that Barone said that the Clinton campaign also had a policy of everyone having the same information - though it was less of a centralized message than that of the Bush campaign.
Suskind also made the distinction that the press is adversarial to Bush because he lied about policy, whereas Clinton lied about personal issues but never about policy.

Suskind is also the author of the seminal N.Y. Times Magazine article ”Without a Doubt,” an examination of the role that faith plays in President Bush’s policy decisions, and which introduced into the lexicon the term “reality-based community"--a derisive phrase used by Bush aides to describe critics of the president.

Suskind carefully picks apart the administration's WMD claims, exonerating Tenet, who downplays his "slam dunk" statement, and indicting National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice among others for blaming the CIA when the case unraveled.
Their goal, says Suskind, was to protect the president, an activity that kept Cheney and staff occupied frequently as well.
Suskind concludes that in its claim of moral superiority against the "axis of evil," the Bush administration has often neglected to live up to its own standards.

RON SUSKIND: Well, you know, I don't think the book ever makes a swift or decisive judgments about who the president is and, you know, what specifically are his deficits or strengths.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, the Suskind book describes in his view, how this White House is removed from sort of traditional policy-making schemes for the American leadership, that it's so politically wired, that it's all about winning, to use a phrase from the book, and not always about the best public policy.
Suskind's, I think contradicts this point in many, many places; debates over steel tariffs and other subjects are described, I think, in as fairly direct and with many points of view expressed.
