...House of Bush is a more elaborate feudal operation. For one thing, it is intergenerational. There is a medieval quality to eternal advisers like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Andrew Card, Karl Rove, Condoleezza Rice. You can picture them in velvet robes, whispering in the Prince's ear, in a 15th century Venetian tableau.

It was the first White House confirmation of a secret CIA-operated network of overseas prisons, places where unorthodox methods of interrogation were not unknown. "Were...
...Actually, they suspected long ago that Woodward's newest book would not be good for them. Woodward had plenty of access to Bush and Cheney for his first two tomes. Not this time. "We had a sense that this was going to be a different kind of book," says one source familiar with the discussions on how to handle Woodward. "The third time is not the charm...
