Scowcroft joins Wilkerson in "breaking ranks..."

yep, the wheels are definitely coming off bushco's wagon... scowcroft was bush I's top man right up there with james baker... i met him briefly once right after 9/11 when i was handling security at dulles... not that this has anything to do with anything but i was surprised to see how short he is...

(steve clemons - again - has the scoop on scowcroft's upcoming new yorker article...)

The article will outline what decisions and events have built up to turn Brent Scowcroft against this Bush administration. Yes, that's right. . ."turned Brent Scowcroft against this Bush administration."

Jeffrey Goldberg, the author of the piece, has pulled off a stunning coup by not only getting Brent Scowcroft to talk -- but also getting some incredibly juicy commentary from President George H.W. Bush on the performance of his son's national security team.

I don't have the full piece yet -- but I know it will be a blockbuster.
