It is unfortunate that figures like Richard Clarke were completely dismissed in their struggle to capture Bin Laden in Afghanistan, then vindicated on the grandest of scales. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/25183?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
