Russ Baker appears on the PBS station WGBH with host Emily Rooney to discuss the stunning revelations contained in his new book on the Bush Dynasty,”Family of Secrets.”
Interview topics range from George Bush Senior’s secret life in intelligence work preceding his directorship of the CIA; answers to why the elder Bush cannot remember where he was the day John F. Kennedy was shot; new information on George W. Bush’s missing military service; and the back story to the American relationship to Saudi Arabia and oil. Watch Now!

Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, former NSA and Pentagon official and arch-critic of the Iraq invasion, has strongly recommended Family of Secrets. She recently discussed the book and offered her own thoughts on the Bushes in a column for LewRockwell.com:
I recently read Russ Baker’s Family of Secrets, because Lew interviewed Russ Baker and it sounded great. The book delivers, although I suspect there are a lot of Bush family secrets that remain unexposed. I am personally curious about any Bush secret recipes on the back burner back in March 1981. As history, the Wikipedia version of the Reagan assassination attempt reads like a CIA moonlighter’s script for a movie of the week.
Baker’s research led him back to the days of the JFK assassination, where HW, or “Poppy” Bush was not where he said he was, after all these years. You’ll have to read the book for a real, and real interesting, lesson in modern American democracy.
Last Thursday, Russ was interviewed by Marc Steiner on Baltimore’s WEAA public radio. The broadcast generated a heavy response from listeners. You don’t want to miss it.

Yesterday, The Raw Story’s John Byrne picked up the story. His detailed piece discusses the 2004 article as well as coverage of Family of Secrets. Byrne’s entry immediately became a hit on Digg.
