Friends have been buzzing about MoveOn's take on Scott McClellan's tell-all about his White House years. "McClellan shouldn't profit off the role he played in our nation's largest foreign-policy blunder," says MoveOn, pushing for the former press secretary to donate his profits to war veterans.

I believe this is a misguided campaign.  Why not, instead, demand that all the war profiteers in Iraq donate their profits? 

I'm not going to call McClellan names or question his right to make money from his story.  I believe that MoveOn and others do us a disservice with this campaign.  Book profit is tiny compared to the billions in profits that have been or still will be made by all the people who have stayed loyal Bushies and will profit from their doing so. It's also beside the point when an insider is showing us how someone nearly took down the United States of America by starting an unnecessary war (probably planning another before leaving office), and generally screwed up everything else in govt.

Nothing is going to change within the Bush administration as a result of this book. Nobody's going to impeach anyone. So -- sooner, later, it doesn't matter when he spoke but that he spoke.

If we, who want the truth to come out, then bash the people whofinally find the courage and/or other motivation to tell the truth, the famously tight-lipped group of loyal Bushies will forever be tight-lipped.  We need all the information about what happened.  We need to be willing to make it worthwhile to those who break their silence. We need others to follow McClellan's lead and come forward.

So, I praise McClellan for his giving us insights with What Happened. I hope more will do the same.  That's what all the people of our country need in order to learn and to heal after this almost 8-year ordeal: insight into what and who got us here and how.  Otherwise, we're sure to repeat this.
