original cover

Hacked cover
on the Barnes & Noble website (details at Human Events)
Hugh Hewitt complains that the left-hand side of the Blogosphere has been eerily silent about the xmas in Cambodia firestorm prompted by Drudge's pre-publication leaking of claims from the book. Well, I guess someone finally broke the silence. But this is more like a middle-finger than an explanation.
UPDATE: It was likely not a hack but an inside job. An overly helpful bookstore employee who felt a picture would be more persuasive than a long-winded explanation of why the Cambodia story is not the searing words of a political braggart.
