re: "Bremer's Diary"
Author Jerry Pournelle makes some comments on Amb. Bremer's book. I find this particular remark to be notable:
"you see that Bremer, like most FSO's, believe (sic) that a career in the Foreign Service fits you to do anything"
Update 1 (22-Jan-2006): The quote, slightly edited for clarity, may now be viewed in the Consul-At-Arms sidebar under the "Quotations" heading.

And apparently a career writing science fiction qualifies you to make snarky criticisms of almost anyone . . .

Well, it was in the context of a book review. I haven't read Amb. Bremer's book yet myself, although it may make my reading list yet. I'm still so p.o.-ed after reading Gen. Franks' book that I'm probably not ready to for this particular memoir.
