Dateline: Grand Hyatt Washington DC, 20 April 2005
Got through about 100 endnotes yesterday, meaning I am through Chapter 3 now and looking at just over 200 more for 4, 5, Conclusion and Afterward.
My long-set interview today with a senior military official was cancelled at the last minute. No surprise there. I didn't actually want to interview the guy, because he's famous for having nothing interesting to say. It just clears up my sked for the real purpose of this entire trip. This thing, I am assured by parties with some genuine control, goes down today. I am ready. I have my questions and my digital and my tape and my suit. I decamp here at noon and go to Pentagon City mall to keep working and keep waiting.
Wish me luck.
