Bestselling author Glenn Greenwald spoke here at Cato on Tuesday on his latest book, *[A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency.](http://www.amazon.com/Tragic-Legacy-Mentality-Destroyed-Presidency/dp/0307354199/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-8695803-2056650?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1186670753&sr=1-1)* There was a sharp, but civil, exchange with guest commentator, Lee Casey, who has published many articles in defense of Bush administration policies. C‑SPAN was here to tape the event and it will be airing soon. Of course, all Cato events are archived on the website, so you can watch or listen to [this event](https://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=3927) at your convenience. For a sneak preview, check out today’s [podcast interview](https://www.cato.org/dailypodcast/glenngreenwald_bushstragiclegacy_20070809.mp3) with Greenwald.
