Book Embargo Broken by NYT
PublishersLunch

 NYT "obtained" an embargoed copy of Bob Woodward's OBAMA'S WARS in advance of next week's release--and serialization in the Washington Post. The Times leads with the theme that some of President Obama's national security team has doubted his Afghanistan strategy and "spent much of the last 20 months quarreling with one another over policy, personalities and turf."


The Post followed with their own story, emphasizing even more explicitly than the Times that Obama wanted "to hand it off and get out of Afghanistan" rather than triple troop levels, "repeatedly pressing his top military advisers for an exit plan that they never gave him."
