Good afternoon Sheila and others who are following this lol. You asked me to find a liberal ultra leftist site that reviewed Miniter's book. To be honest the first 4-6 pages of Google that I checked all had reviews by conservative sites, and magazines. Maybe the twains never meet! 
 My point was to find liberal books on the left for your library to counteract the books on the right, not to find leftist reviews of conservative books or visa versa.  I cannot imagine liberals giving much credence to a book that said they found WMDs in Iraq. Even Bush admits they did not find any.
At any rate,  Buzzflash is a favorite site among liberals and progressives. It does have a healthy dose of liberal books, DVDs etc. Nation magazine's site also has a good selection of books. I suppose if you ordered everything on Buzzflash and the Nation's site as well as all the materials from your conservative sites, your library would be pretty well-rounded, or polarized like the rest of us lol.

Good morning Adelaide.  I was suggesting places that you might find reviews of books that  conservatives like.  For example, Disinformation: 22 Media Myths That Undermine The War on Terror by Richard Miniter was reviewed on January 2, 2006 on Powerlineblog. com.  As for liberal ultra leftist sites, would you be willing to recommend any that you are familiar with that have reviewed Miniter's book?   I would like to learn about those as well. 

Thanks,
