War and Decision
[edit]Usernamewikipediabackwards, I appreciate your contributions to this page. However your last two (inserting Maureen Dowd and Dana Milbank) don't seem to fit properly, though I wanted to address them before reverting your edits. Dowd's statements about Feith come from December 2007, 5 months before the book came out, so they are clearly not 'critical reception' of the book. They are about Feith, to be sure, but the purpose of this page is to present reviews and opinions on the book itself, not on Feith, or on Feith talking about his book. This brings us to Milbank, who seems to have heard Feith speak at CSIS but not read the book. Nothing in his article reflects that Milbank has read the book--that the article, in other words, qualifies as critical reception. Instead, it is a comment by Milbank on Feith speaking about his own book. This is of a completely different order than Kissinger, the Wall Street Journal, or Charles Taylor reading and reviewing the book. Certainly Taylor's critical remarks of Feith deserve to be on this page, and certainly more critical reviews will come as the book gets circulated. But in the meantime, we should limit the page to comments actually about the contents of the book, not just about Feith. This would mean removing Dowd and Milbank.

[edit]Hello. Please make yourself familiar with Wikipedia policy regarding citations -- specifically, reliable sources. The link you keep adding is not a reliable source; rather, it is a personal attack site that reproduces a White House press release. These same statements can be found elsewhere, so I suggest you provide a reliable, third-party, published source that doesn't break Wikipedia policy. Thankyou. — eon, 22:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
