Outstanding and compelling argument. A book which simply must be read in order to be informed on the torture controversies and related matters.

Having spent so long researching the more loopy 9/11 theories, it was really refreshing to read this, which is stamped with both humanity and sanity. It also, in part, undermines the 9/11 conspiracy theories (why would Perle wait until 2 months after 9/11 to set up a company that would benefit if he was involved in planning it?). It has made me want to do another long post about 9/11 and US foreign policy, because I think I am now shifting quite strongly against the conspiracy theories (not completely, but for all practical purposes). So watch this space.

Also – last point – very interesting discussion at the end about Israel and the Kurds, which was an aspect to the current world situation I hadn’t appreciated. Gives more weight to this article (HT Global Guerrillas) which I read a couple of days ago, and would recommend.
