We're the bad guys, you see
Last week I read an article on the website of Leftist, anti-American British newspaper The Guardian. It warned of a scathing new book by a senior CIA analyst that was strongly critical of the Bush Administration's counter-terrorism policy.
Turns out that Imperial Hubris by Anonymous basically argues, on one hand, that we're the bad guys for supporting Israel and the counter-terrorism policies of other countries- but on the other that we may end up needing to be far more bloody and ruthless if we don't essentially give in to blackmail now.
The author is said to be a former head of the CIA unit hunting Osama bin Laden, who has since been demoted. Certainly, like Richard Clark, he would seem to have a strong personal motive for wanting to strike back at the Administration- though it's also worth noting that the book is just as critical of the Clinton Administration as of the current one.
Personally, I don't see that it would be all that hard to figure out who this guy is. And whoever he is, he needs to be fired. Now.
