I'm reading "Charlie Wilson's War."

Haven't seen the movie but it can't be as good as the book. It's a hoot!

I highly recommend it.

UPDATE: You can't come away from this book without a little more respect for red-blooded anti-Communist American Democrats, the CIA and its cold warriors and even some muslim jihadists. (They were a lot cuter when their guns and knives with being used against the Rooskies.)

George Crile's book came out in 2003, the year the liberation of Iraq began. Maybe it should have been a covert war with Charlie and Company running things.
