This week at the TPMCafe Book Club, America Abroad contributors Ivo Daalder and Jim Lindsay will be discussing the newly revised and updated edition of their book, America Unbound: The Bush Revolution in Foreign Policy.

At the Coffee House today, Reed Hundt wonders what ever happened to wanting to uphold the rule of law, and Greg Anrig explains why the choice of Ben Bernanke to replace Alan Greenspan at the Fed is another thing for Republicans to complain about. Also, Matt Yglesias has a few reservations about all the recent praise for Brent Scowcroft.
