James Risen makes the following declarative aside in his review of Richard Clarke's book in the New York Times:

The explosive details about President Bush's obsession with Iraq in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks captured the headlines in the days after the book's release, but ''Against All Enemies'' offers more.

I'm sure the author would have no clue why I write this, but a note to Mr. Risen: Editorialize all you want about the content, pace, organization and believability of Richard Clarke's book; that's what is expected in a book review, after all. But please don't make completely unironic, "factual" statements that bend the laws of time and space to fit your tidy little political views. It's unseemly.
