...There's enough plot in Tell No One to furnish three thrillers, and though the film's action is driven by this complex (and impossible to briefly describe) narrative. The film, a French adaptation of a novel by the American thriller writer Harlan Coben, relies for its seductive power on its characters and their relationships. For example, it's crucial to Alex's fate that, as a doctor, he has paid sympathetic attention to a hemophiliac little boy who is treated routinely by the rest of his hospital's staff.

Wilson had accused the Administration of deceiving Americans by hyping Saddam Hussein's supposed search for nuclear fuel in Africa. McClellan's book sheds a little more light: Cheney called Bush the morning of Oct. 4, 2003, and Bush then ordered McClellan to tell the media that Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, had nothing to do with the Plame leak. Libby was later shown to have indeed leaked her identity, and was convicted of obstructing the inquiry into...
