The book's release in the U.S. is set for this week. Apparently both Straw's office and Powell's office has contacted the American publisher, Public Affairs, to say that they would vehemently deny the alleged conversation. However, no threat of lawsuit or accusations of libel followed; and so, the publisher plans on releasing the book in the U.S. this week as planned. Other British journalists verify the quote and reporting as accurate from the book, The Accidental American: Tony Blair and the Presidency, by BBC broadcaster James Naughtie. Read a complete report on the Guardian Online here (caution: language not suitable for children--but Dick Cheney would be comfortable!).
