	Q&A with Ronald Kessler on A Matter of Character on National Review Online
		Investigative journalist Ronald Kessler is the author of numerous bestsellers, including Inside the CIA and The Bureau.
		Ronald Kessler: Most of what the public knows of Bush is filtered through the liberal bias of the media.
		Kessler: The claim that Bush has dyslexia was in a Vanity Fair article by Gail Sheehy, and she has since repeated that claim on TV.

		Ronald Kessler: John McLaughlin is a respected intelligence analyst, but I think the CIA needs someone with the ability to schmooze people on Capital Hill and enhance its credibility.
		Ronald Kessler: Some are a little troubled by the fact that Goss occasionally has made unfair criticism of the agency, but overall I think the employees are positive about him because his overall record shows that he understands intelligence and that he will make changes that are responsible.
		Ronald Kessler: Well that is certainly a good point but right now it is necessary to symbolize the importance of the CIA by making sure that it has a director.

		KESSLER: They had a previous owner who wanted to give it up, and so they made a deal with her whereby she would keep the liquor license in her name but the FBI would operate it and would assume all liability.
		KESSLER: She was the victim of one of these typical star stalkers who would become fixated on her and constantly write her letters showing that he had actually trailed her all over the world.
		KESSLER: That one of the major investigations that the Washington office undertook was the Watergate investigation; that it was, of course, the FBI that did the investigation of Watergate that resulted in the convictions.

		Ronald L. Kessler, Barbara Leibovitz, Jaime Hellman: Kessler: The important thing was to connect the dots and do much more wide ranging investigation before 9/11 and without adequate computers it is very difficult to do that.
		Kessler, I'm amazed that J.Edgar Hoover served as Director of the FBI for 48 years and was actually celebrated and given a hero's send off when he died.
		Ronald L. Kessler, Barbara Leibovitz, Jaime Hellman: I think we hope that we presented to Americans a deeper understanding of who the FBI is -- the good the bad and the ugly.

	The Men Who Knew Too Little
		Ronald Kessler opens "The Bureau," his comprehensive history of the FBI, with Sept. 11 imagery: Barry Mawn, chief of the New York FBI office, races to the World Trade Center as the twin towers flame.
		As Kessler tells it, in mid-August 2001 a Minnesota flight academy official called the local FBI to report that a student "wanted to concentrate on navigational skills and midair turns, not landings and takeoffs." The official was sure that the student, Zacarias Moussaoui, intended to turn a jumbo jet into a flying bomb.
		Though Kessler goes along with the FBI's excuse that it was handcuffed by the intelligence act, he acknowledges that the bureau's National Security Division, responsible for disrupting terrorist cells, borders on the dysfunctional.

	Ronald Kessler on George W. Bush on National Review Online
		According to Ronald Kessler, the op-ed was accepted by USA Today back in July, to run to coincide with the publication of his new book A Matter of Character.
		Ronald Kessler, however, says: "To say that Brian Gallagher, the editor of the editorial page, had questions that I couldn't resolve is misleading.
		Kessler's publicist, Sandy Schulz, further explained to NRO: "The ultimate rejection of the piece by Kessler, whose three op-eds on CIA subjects had run unscathed in the past three months, coupled with Gallagher's point that a quote from a pro-Bush person is not credible, clearly demonstrates the anti-Bush media bias Kessler documents in his book.

	Online NewsHour: FBI: Troubled House -- April 16, 1997
		RONALD KESSLER: Well, that the agents universally lost faith in the director, and, you know, I certainly adopt Congressman Edwards' point that there's a lot of discontent at all times, but I've watched the FBI since the 60's, and never has there been this much outrage at what the director has done.
		Kessler basically presses his point a little too far to say that morale is universally poor; that the director has got to go based on what we've seen, and to draw the conclusion that leads to your question, frankly, that there might be a massive number of cases that are now suspect.
		Kessler is premier in that area--so I think that the FBI is a much better organization than it was in the early 60's and late and 70's too.

		Kessler notes that Hoover and his agents did some good along the way, catching spies and terrorists from time to time, as well as bank robbers and mobsters.
		Kessler says both men are good managers and listeners who earned the respect of FBI agents and the Justice Department alike.
		Kessler might have noted that the domestic spy operation (the Huston Plan) authorized by President Richard Nixon remained in effect even after the president withdrew his approval.

	Salon Books \| "The Season" by Ronald Kessler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Ronald Kessler, a former Washington Post investigative reporter and the bestselling author of "Inside the White House" and "Inside the CIA," now kneels to billionaires, dowagers, bimbos, "escorts" and lounge lizards in "The Season: Inside Palm Beach and America's Richest Society." Kneels to them and gives them "a Lewinsky," as the saying goes.
		Granted, Kessler had some problems gaining access to "the beautiful people" in "plastic-surgery central," as one of his four main sources, "the night manager of Ta-Boó, Palm Beach's trendiest and most successful restaurant and bar," describes the moral vacuum he calls home.
		Kessler seems to approve of this move, but it's as close as he comes to a democratic impulse.

	Which Deep Throat - John Dean's or Ronald Kessler's?
		Kessler's book, about to be published by St. Martin's Press, authoritatively states that material in the Woodward/Bernstein stories was "lifted almost verbatim" from FBI reports to which Felt had access.
		Kessler told Page Six that he had "additional information" identifying Felt as Deep Throat, which he "can't use," but noted that Felt, who later said he couldn't remember lunching with Woodward, denied he was Deep Throat.
		While Kessler may be off the mark, he is a far more credible source that John Dean, who makes his Deep Throat identifications hard to swallow in the light of the fact that in 1975 he fingered Watergate prosecutor Earl J. Silbert as the leaker.

	Mark Riebling, "How to Improve Domestic Intelligence"
		KESSLER: Well, I'm not an expert on Pearl Harbor, but in this case, it's not a situation such as we had, for example, with Aldrich Ames, where he was a drunk, he didn't do his work, he couldn't be trusted, he would lose things.
		Kessler makes a good point that some of these guys may be terror suspects engaged in criminal activity of a nature which would have led us to get on to them at an earlier stage.
		Kessler said about the FBI having all these missions goes very much to my point of why whoever is tracking terrorists in the United States should have one mission.

	Inside the CIA by Ronald Kessler
		Ronald Kessler's INSIDE THE CIA is among one of the worst books I've ever read, and the worst detailing the Central Intelligence Agency.

		Kessler is very informed about the workings of the CIA and the backgrounds of its employees and directors, but only up to when this book was published.

		All that said, the sooner a mental disorder is diagnosed and the sooner treatment begins, the better the chance of full recovery and that it will come more quickly than it otherwise would.

		A Matter of Character, Kessler's examination of the 43rd U.S. President, treads lightly on policy issues as the author instead focuses on Bush's positive personality traits and relates how those traits are positive indicators of his ability as a policymaker and leader of the world's lone superpower.
		Kessler spends a lot of time addressing the main accusations about Bush and discards them, albeit sometimes with a bit too much ease.
		Unfortunately Kessler lessens the impact of his powerful portray by some needlessly inserted pot shots at the Clintons and the Carters.
