President Bush's new memoir Decision Points could use an extra round of fact-checking.

From the Acknowledgements  to George W. Bush's Decision Points (p. 479):

Much of the research for this book was conducted by the brilliant and tireless Peter Rough. Peter spent the past eighteen months digging through archives, searching the Internet, and sifting through reams of paper. His insights and resourcefulness improved this book in countless ways. He also fact-checked every word of it ....

From p. 368, describing a sermon at Camp David.

[The minister] quoted Sir Edmund Burke, the eighteenth-century British leader, 'The only thing needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'

That's three errors in one sentence: The quotation is spurious, Burke died a 'Mr,' and except for four months as Paymaster of the British army, Burke never held a leadership role in the British government.
