TONY EASTLEY: I don't know about you, but it feels as though Mark Latham's tell-all book has been around for days, but it only goes on sale as of this morning.

Last week and over the weekend Labor suffered the ignominy of hearing and seeing its former leader attack his party and many of its personalities.

It's allowed Labor's opponents to publicly question what sort of leader Mark Latham would have made, had he become Prime Minister.

Mark Latham has given AM an insight into that by detailing his thoughts about Australia's relationship with the United States.

He believes Australia could get bogged down in the war against terror for the rest of his lifetime if the US maintains the policies of George W. Bush and Australia continues its partnership in the war in Iraq.
