By reprehensor 9/11 story -- fiction or truth?
Former CIA official may know more than he lets on.
Robert Baer's audacious first novel is going to be controversial because of both who he is and what he says. He retired after 20 years with the CIA and wrote a memoir, See No Evil, a memoir that inspired the murky Middle East spy film Syriana. In Blow the House Down, Baer gives us a fictional version of the 9/11 attacks, suggesting that high-level CIA officials could have stopped the terrorists but had other priorities. It's fiction, of course, but in an interview with journalist Seymour Hersh that the publisher sent along with the novel, Baer says: "It's like Primary Colors. There's a lot more truth in this book than is apparent." Continued at link. (Maybe John Loftus got Baer thinking when he enlightened him about the Muslim Brotherhood, and who its sponsors are.) |
