    <body><![CDATA[Vince Flynn obviously seeks to prove a point with Extreme Measures, the latest entry in his thoroughly enjoyable Mitch Rapp series. This is my least favorite in the series, by far. This book explores the politics of violence related to terrorism and our country's response to terrorism, yet relies more on personal angst and interpersonal dialogue of the characters and less on action than his previous Rapp stories. <br/><br/>Certainly, we have mixed emotions in this country - and sometimes short-lived emotions - about the violence of terrorism and our nation's response to terrorism. After 9/11, everybody wanted blood; a few years later we want to Mirandize every terrorist we capture so they can &quot;lawyer up&quot; before revealing any knowledge held about planned attacks in the future. That's the plot of Extreme Measures; too bad Flynn didn't trade some of the angst for more action.]]></body>
