[Note for TomDispatch readers:  If you haven’t gotten around to picking up my new book,The American Way of War: How Bush’s Wars Became Obama’s, here’s your chance to get an increasingly rare copy of the first printing.  (The book is already back on press for a second go-round.)  In the meantime, I’ve embarked on what, for me, is something like a mini-radio blitz in the coming weeks -- my first stop being with historian and radio host Jon Weiner, always a wonderful experience. You can catch that encounter (at the 40-minute mark) by clicking here, or watch me talk about the book on Timothy MacBain’s first TomCast video here, or listen to me on a new TomCast audio interview here.  Remember that if you buy the book (or anything else) at Amazon.com via a TD link, we get a little cut of the proceeds at no cost to you.  Tuesday, by the way, I’ll turn 66.  In honor of that moment, TD will take a brief breather. Expect the next post Thursday.  Tom]
