In favor of "Tempting Faith"

Former Counsel to the President John Dean writes a compelling analysis in favor of the accuracy of "Tempting Faith".

There's really no reason, then, to think Kuo has any hidden political agenda. He's admitted his disappointment in the Bush Administration. And he's sought out the best forum possible -- a book where he can set forth the details of how he believes Bush and his aides are politically manipulating Christians -- at the best time, to call attention to his inside knowledge to those who share his beliefs. His agenda seems to be the simple one he claims: To convey to his fellow Christians how much he feels the Bush White House has let them down.

Without reading the book it is hard to tell if Kou's story has a ring of truth to it. From everything I've read and heard in the press - the story rings true. I've got to get a copy.
