So I am tearing through Robert Baer’s See No Evil. I have been anxious to read it since Vanity Fair published a chapter a couple months back, and I have to say that I think everyone should read this book now. What it basically does is ties together alot of loose ends around middle-eastern terrorism that have been left out there for the past 30 years, telling you about what information was gathered and proven and not acted upon due to a desire to keep the CIA’s hands clean and the State Department happy. I think alot of people will be sick after reading it, and others angry, but most of all….I think most people will now totally understand where alot of the current rhetoric is coming from. Our problems in Lebanon 20 years ago were never put to bed, and to think that they have no connection with September 11th is extremely foolish. Do yourself a favor and give this book a read before you question tough talk about Iran or Arafat.
