Revealed: Corporation-Courting Imperialist Thomas Friedman is an article posted on the Truthout web site.  The article is an interview with the author of the book The Imperial Messenger. I noticed the book being advertised on the Truthout web site.  As this article mentions:

“The Imperial Messenger” is the Truthout Progressive Pick of the Week

The cover of the book has a huge picture of Thomas Friedman.  With my disdain for Friedman, I could not imagine why they would feature one of his books.  Part of the introduction to the article linked to from here is the following:

Verso Books recently inaugurated a series it calls “Counterblasts,” which “aims to revive the tradition of polemical writing inaugurated by Puritan and leveller pamphleteers in the seventeenth century.” Its most recent entry is a book about The New York Times columnist and advocate for all things having to do with US power in the Middle East, Thomas Friedman. This short book shreds any sense of integrity that Friedman might have for the uninitiated, and provides plenty of substance for those needing the polemical ammunition to challenge this powerful spokesman.

Now I understand why this book was chosen by Truthout.
