Robert Baer, an ex-CIA field officer in its Directorate of Operations division from 1976 to 1997. He is the author of See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism.


Baer: For a start everyone in the CIA knew that Clinton refused to see his CIA director. This wrecked morale throughout the CIA. Why get yourself in trouble spying if no one in the White House cared? The result was that the really good officers resigned and everyone else elected to stay home.


Baer: I think Clinton was naive. He didn't have the slightest idea there was a dangerous world out there. A baby-boomer, he was more concerned about Nasdaq and the way he felt about things than he was about national security.


Baer: People in the Middle East hate the United States for a variety of reasons. For a start we are accused of propping up corrupt regimes, from Saudi Arabia to Morocco. They believe we profit from these regimes and it is in our economic interest to protect them. Secondly, people in the Middle East hate us for giving unlimited support to Israel. Finally, at the bottom of it all, as the last super power, we are blamed for everything that goes wrong in the world.


Robert Baer, an ex-CIA analyst in the Middle East, argues in his recently released book Sleeping with the Devil, that the Saudi royal family is doomed within a decade, and probably before. With the pincers closing in of escalating fundamentalism on the one hand, and the lingering threat of US pressure to crack down on the other, Baer’s claim is not difficult to believe.
