    I haven't seen the book, but it is creating quite a stir. Some time back I determined that a book has more value if it has footnotes and an index; believe it or not, some don't. I have heard that this book is extensively footnoted.
    Actually that's not so impressive. Corsi went to school, wrote a dissertation, and books. Libraries across America are full of authors with similar credentials. But if it is a fact that he said, "Hillary is a Lesbian and Muslims worship Satan," he's just an ignoramus.

    Mine are too. I have a bachelor's and a master's and am a long-time member of Mensa. I've written a long article for a historical journal, have written four non-fiction books, and just got my first short story published. I have been in the past and again am a regular columnist for the local Mensa magazine. And I think it's time I write a book about John and Cindy.

    It's only August. And it's all on the Internet somewhere. Just have to find it. Good thing I'm a Googler par excellence. Can't plariarize though. Got to be careful. Maybe I'll call Corsi for help.

    I'm willing to give the book a fair reading .As George said it is supposedly well footnoted so I wlll know his sources. Also clearly the guy is not a partisan;although it concerns me that he is a bit of a tin foil hat guy. . He has called for the impeachment of President Bush and for the reopening of the 9-11 investigations in support of the 9-11 'Truthers'. I suspect that if he had written a book on that subject he would not be getting vilified .
