Oh, nevermind my previous comment.

Linebaugh is the one of the most radical Bushies out there.

Thanks. I am definitely reading this. I think it's pathetic that people choose not to be informed of what articles like this have to say.

Man is pretty good at making things much larger than himself and much better at making things that he cannot control.

Nope. That mother****** is huge. Plus, it's a memoir so I dunno if I'd completely trust that. I think a better book to read would be Ghost Wars (link) by Steve Coll. I haven't read it yet but will after my friend is done with it in a few days.

he includes many many documents. He researched all this throught he cia archives, so its not just memory, its collected from both documents and from interviewing other cia people.

Its a good perspective.

Hmm, maybe you're right. I might give it a shot sometime after I'm done with my current books. Just worried about the kind of picture he paints of himself in that book and what details he might leave out.

At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA.

He got a lotta shit put on him and I think he is just putting out his view on everything. Remember he was the one who supposively said Iraq + WMD = Slam Dunk. hehe, plus some he explains some other things. it was a good read.

i was watching a documentary on the history channel on saturday night about how the CIA recruited former nazis to work for them against russia during the cold war and they lied and made up alot of false information to the CIA/US government so they could stay alive and seem useful. really interesting stuff
