Lisa, the *supposed* errors in the book, particularly those outlined by 
Dershowitz, aren't "errors" but arguments as to whose "version" of history 
is correct.  The best example is where Dershowitz states "Carter's 
description of the recent Lebanon war is misleading. He begins by asserting 
that Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers. "Captured" suggest a military 
apprehension subject to the usual prisoner of war status. The soldiers were 
kidnapped, and have not been heard from--not even a sign of life. The rocket 
attacks that preceded Israel's invasion are largely ignored, as is the fact 
that Hezbollah fired its rockets from civilian population centers."

The problem with Dershowitz's "version" is that he chooses to believe that 
it all started with the two Israeli soldiers when infact it started just 
prior to that with Israel "accidentally" bombing a beach in Lebanon and 
killing folks out for a day at the beach.

It is kinda the same old thing as with the Indians and the soldiers.  When 
the Indians attacked it was a massacre.  When the soldiers attacked it was 
defending.  Semantics to sway the public opinion!

So, it isn't errors in Carter's book, it is folks that want history written 
their way and get bent out of shape when someone doesn't stick with the 
current PC version of history.

Lynda, who hates to have to agree with Bill, yuck, yuck, yuck <g>
