This series of articles was adapted from "Plan of Attack" by Bob Woodward. Information in the book comes from more than 75 key people directly involved in the events, including President Bush, war cabinet members, the White House staff and officials serving at various levels of the State and Defense departments and the Central Intelligence Agency.
These interviews were conducted on background, meaning the information could be used but the sources would not be identified. Bush was interviewed on the record for more than 31/2 hours over two days, Dec. 10 and 11, 2003. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was interviewed for more than three hours in the fall of 2003. Many of the direct quotations of dialogue, dates, times and other details of this history come from documents, including personal notes, calendars, chronologies, official and unofficial records, phone transcripts and memos. Where thoughts, judgments or feelings are attributed to participants, they were obtained from the person directly, a colleague with firsthand knowledge or the written record.
