Le Carre: The US has gone mad

This is old news, but still pertinent. John Le Carre thought that the US had gone mad way back in January 2003 (seems like years ago, doesn't it?) I wonder what he thinks now. We may find out soon, as he is apparently about to publish a new spy novel that concerns Iraq and the current state of the inter-relationships between the US and UK intelligence networks, a theme to which he often returns with great insight. And of course, it will be a cracking good read, if nothing else.
I found this as I was working on my "bookstore" page, which is greatly improved since yesterday if you want to take a look.
