I'm only 70 pages or so in, but I've noticed that Feith keeps stating over and over that in the weeks after September 11, the administration decided the enemy was a "network," not an organization. It's pretty easy to see where this is going--it's setting the stage for a defense of the Iraq decision.

But my initial thought is that pretty much everyone who has analyzed how one destroys a network focuses on the need to identify and neutralize critical nodes. I'm anxious to see the logic that makes Iraq a critical node in the transnational terrorist network.

Now, nose back to the grindstone....
