It's a well researched book on the history of Afghanistan from 1979 to 2001. It will debunk the theories on OBL being a CIA agent, and also how AQ came into being and eventually planned 911. It will also give some interesting insight into how the CIA really works and how they aren't an all knowing/all planning organization. This book is a very unbiased and balanced account.

I give it a big thumbs up. It's the best book I've read on that particular period/region. Ghost Wars

According to certain nuts on this forum, Al Qaeda doesn't even exist.

Take for instance the CBS attempt to post a false memo. Before blogs they would have gotten away with it.
You ever hear of Operation Mockingbird?

Yeah, you'd think they'd learn to cover their tracks a little better?

At least 10 local journalists accepted U.S. government pay for programs on Radio Martí or TV Martí. El Nuevo Herald fired two of them Thursday for conflict of interest.

Ah, the hell with the PM article; it was much too brief anyways. The loose change guide is much more thorough in it's debunking of common CT myths (obviously, focusing on the 'mainstream' lies as presented in Loose Change).

I will give you credit for one thing, you've definitely got a hard-on for the CIA. With all of the skill you accord them they should send you a Christmas card every year. On the other hand, any muslim guerrilla from Afghanistan turned jihadist would definitely not be a fan of yours. You give them no credit for brains, smarts, or ability whatsover, unless their big brothers the CIA is there to wipe their noses for them.

Western-centric thinking in the house anyone?

Yet I am sure no proof is forthcoming. You're great at making BS statements without backing anything up. Given your history of lies and misinformation, why exactly are we suppose to trust anything you say?

You're not supposed to trust what I say.

Stop acting like a slave (and turn off your TV while you're at it).

I'm not going to "program" you what to believe and what to buy and who to vote for the way your TV does.

Go out and do your own research, and see if it matches up to what I say.
