REALISM WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE PEOPLE who cooked up the commission had in mind when they set the bipartisan operation in motion more than a year ago. The review began as an earmark--a $1 million insertion into an appropriations bill by Republican Representative Frank Wolf of Virginia, who had gone to Iraq last year and decided U.S. policy wasn't working or, as he put it, needed "fresh eyes."

More resumé-padding from the over-recorded Dan Bejar (Destroyer, New Pornographers) and the stretched-too-thin Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, a dozen other bands).

Rumored to be the model for John le Carré's shadowy Karla (a suggestion the author has denied), Wolf placed his 4,000 spies in such enemy territory as NATO headquarters, cannily converted West German agents to his team, and famously touted the "Romeo method"-the wooing of lonely government secretaries to gain access to confidential files...
