  <default_description>The Book the CIA Doesn&amp;#8217;t Want You to Read&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gary Berntsen, the CIA&amp;#8217;s key commander coordinating the fight against the Taliban forces around Kabul, comes out from under cover for the first time to describe his no-holds-barred pursuit&amp;#8212;and cornering&amp;#8212;of Osama bin Laden, and the reason the terrorist leader escaped American retribution. As disturbingly eye-opening as it is adrenaline-charged, &lt;i&gt;Jawbreaker&lt;/i&gt; races from CIA war rooms to diplomatic offices to mountaintop redoubts to paint a vivid portrait of a new kind of warfare, showing what can and should be done to deal a death blow to freedom&amp;#8217;s enemies.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A very partisan (anti-Clinton, pro-Bush) narrative. Far, far too much redacting. What's the point of including full paragraphs of black bars and then summarizing them in one sentence? ]]></body>
