By: Joe Strupp The Washington Post Monday launched what it deems an "in-depth special" on the Bush Administration, complete with Web elements such as a video discussion between Bob Woodward, columnist Eugene Robinson and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Barton Gellman.
?The defining event is the Iraq War, because that was a war of choice," Woodward says in the discussion. " ? Bush, of course, hopes that that?s going to turn out well and there is an outside chance it?s possible and he?ll be Harry Truman.?
"In an additional quick-fire video interview series, Gellman gives an issue-by-issue evaluation of the Bush administration on: Iraq, the Bush doctrine, intelligence, torture, Iran and North Korea, education, stem cells, health care, the Supreme Court, the environment, energy, and the economy," an announcement stated.
The Post also will allow online readers the chance to submit their own video comments for use in the special.
Other highlights:
? "A live, week-long discussion series with Washington Post reporters Barton Gellman and Dan Eggen, Columnists Eugene Robinson, Dana Milbank and Dan Froomkin, plus Russ Baker, author of Family of Secrets, will give users the opportunity to ask questions about the Bush Legacy."
? "An interactive timeline of the Bush presidency highlights major news events (including videos and photos). In addition, the timeline plots federal surplus and deficit rates, unemployment, approval ratings, oil prices, and stock prices over the past eight years."
? "A series of photo galleries document the personal life of President Bush, his milestones as Commander-In-Chief and his presence abroad."
