Sounds like he makes more money from suing his wingnut employers (Washington Times; Regnery) than from his books. Let's see, where to start: brother an editor of the NRA 'zine; Shrub's decisions were OH-so-great; oh, and "24" is the model for what the war on terrorism ought to be; and George "Debate Books" WILL approves of him. That's the ticket.

Journalist Richard Miniter, specializing in politics, war and terrorism, whose 2003 best seller was “Losing bin Laden,” squeezes inside the West Wing. Co-opting inside sources, unpublished documents, exclusive interviews, he [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]calls the White House tenant “moody and paralyzed by competing political considerations[/FONT].”
It claims he [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]cannot make decisions[/FONT].” In the previous administration [span style="background-color:yellow"]Bush assembled his team[/FONT], acknowledged a problem, requested their thoughts then determined to adopt Plan A. If unfeasible, Plan B.
Stated is that [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]four women form Obama’s thoughts[/FONT]: Nancy Pelosi the former Speaker of the House who maneuvered Health Care, Michelle Obama the boss of the house who simply maneuvers, Hillary Clinton the Secretary of State who three times overcame his canceling bin Laden missions, Valerie Jarrett the adviser/aide/confidante who calls him “my friend.”
This “crash book” manuscript states the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]White House is “divided” and “other people decide for him[/FONT].”

.... Among his siblings are several writers and journalists, including Frank Miniter, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]executive editor of the National Rifle Association[/FONT] magazine American Hunter. ....
(from The Washington Post: ) “The former editorial page editor of the Washington Times has filed a discrimination complaint against the paper, saying he was "coerced" into attending a Unification Church religious ceremony that culminated in a mass wedding conducted by the church's leader, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.... (Miniter) said in an interview that he "was made to feel there was no choice" but to attend the ceremony if he wanted to keep his job, and that executives "gave me examples of people whose careers at the Times had grown after they converted" to the Unification Church.”
In September 2010, the case of Miniter v. Moon et al. and the related EEOC complaint was settled. Miniter [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]refused to disclose the terms, but said "I am very, very happy[/FONT] with the equitable and just result." ....
The Washington Times printed a critical reply to the book (Losing Bin Laden) from Roger Cressey, a former member of the United States National Security Council staff during the Clinton administration, and Gayle Smith, who participated in the NSC as a Special Assistant to the President.[29] Cressey and Smith characterized [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]four specific allegations in the book as "erroneous," and questioned the veracity of Miniter's sources[/FONT].[29] Miniter's rejoinder was published with Cressey and Smith's criticism. ....
Miniter edited a 2008 book entitled Jack Bauer for President: Terrorism and Politics in 24. Published by BenBella Books, the volume "addresses how [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]much of the show ("24"
is realistic and what it has to say about modern politics and foreign policy in America’s fight against terrorism[/FONT]." ....
In 2007 Miniter and five other conservative authors sued Regnery Press and its parent company Eagle Publishing, claiming that the publisher had sold their books at a steep discount to book club subsidiaries owned by the same parent company, thus depriving the authors of royalties. According to Miniter, "The difference between 10 cents and $4.25 is pretty large when you multiply it by 20,000 to 30,000 books.... It suddenly occurred to us that Regnery is making collectively jillions of dollars off of us and paying us a pittance." ... .... On January 30, 2008, a [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]federal judge granted Eagle Publishing's motion to dismiss[/FONT]. ....
