Scott McClellan has done injury to the truth. “Scott’s Truth vs. Reality”
I have a few preliminary thoughts about
Scott McClellan and his new book. I want to draw particular attention
to a paragraph that appears in his preface:
Writing it
wasn’t easy. Some of the best advice I received as I began came from a
senior editor at a publishing house that expressed interest in my book.
He said the hardest challenge for me would be to keep questioning my
own beliefs and perceptions throughout the writing process. His advice
was prescient. I’ve found myself continually questioning my own
thinking, my assumptions, my interpretations of events. Many of the
conclusions I’ve reached are quite different from those I would have
embraced at the start of the process. The quest for truth has been a
struggle for me, but a rewarding one. I don’t claim a monopoly on
truth. But after wrestling with my experiences over the past several
months, I’ve come much closer to my truth than ever before. (p. xi)
