INTELLIGENCE MATTERS is up from 49 to 21 today! Go DU!
on Amazon.

We're not in the top ten yet, but going from 7000's to #21 in 24 hours is gonna turn some heads at both the publisher and at Amazon, I can assure you!

*******Graham on MTP yesterday:

MR. RUSSERT: Senator Graham, I'll give you the last word.

SEN. GRAHAM: And I would say that one thing this administration needs to do is to come clean with the American people. They are dramatically overusing classification, not for national security reasons but in order to protect political embarrassment. I think we lay out the case in this book of the extent to which Saudi Arabia was a key part of making 9/11 happen, and yet this administration has taken every step to obfuscate, avoid and cover up Saudi Arabia's actions.

MR. RUSSERT: To be continued. Bob Graham, new s--book, "Intelligence Matters: The CIA, FBI, Saudi Arabia, the Failure of America's War on Terror."

Meet the Press, 9-5-04

It's IMPORTANT to keep getting pre-orders in for this book, PARTICULARLY since Graham made statements like these on a television appearance yesterday, and Kerry also made a statement about the book.

Orders for the book NOW will correlate with public interest generated by this media exposure, and therefore add to momentum for MORE media exposure. That's how the game works.

If you can't afford to buy the book, call your library and ask them to order and put you on the list. Also contract local media with the media blaster and indicate your interest in hearing reviews and discussions about the book and the topics in it. Many many times it's the interest generated at the local level that gives a book the "legs" that break it out to bestseller status.

This is a head-on battle with the lying "unfit" trash that's taking up space on the list. Freepers show their loyalty by getting out the wallet. We have to do the same, or the media will rightfully say, "Nobody cares, why should we?"

If you've already ordered one for yourself, get a Kerry friend to order one too. If you can afford, buy some for Christmas presents! Heck, buy a couple copies and donate them to the local Kerry campaign headquarters!

Please help keep this thread kicked. Thanks! And thank so much for the incredible efforts of DU'ers which I've seen have such an exceptional effect just in the last day.

5. I ordered one from Barnes & Noble last night
Just got the "shipping confirmation" on it a little while ago too. I hope they don't drop it off of the books they are selling list like they did with Sen. Byrd's book!

I can hardly wait.

I like Bob Graham very much and he was my #1 pick for vice-president! :D

10. Maureen Dowd's book is #20
This is one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a while! Her acerbic wit and biting commentary is a must-read for insight on the Shrub-dynasty!
