Bush's former press chief defends bombshell book

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan defended his bombshell book about the Bush administration today, saying he did not speak up against the overselling of war in Iraq because he gave the president the benefit of the doubt.

“You’re in a bubble atmosphere,” Mr McClellan told AP Television News, “and sometimes because of your affection for the person you’re working for and your belief in that person, you sometimes lose perspective on some of the larger truths out there. It’s hard to step back from that.”
