I admit I am curious and would like to read the book.

John Kerry's probably purchased the first shipment for his likely-to-be short-lived candidacy in '08:

"See! Tora Bora! I told you people back in 2004...."

"When I watched the presidential debates, it was clear to me ... the debate and discussions on Tora Bora were - from both sides - completely incorrect,"

"Gary Berntsen recounts the attacks he coordinated at the peak of the fighting in eastern Afghanistan in late 2001, including how U.S. commanders knew bin Laden was in the rugged mountains near the Pakistani border and the al-Qaida leader's much-discussed getaway."

Can Berntsen even prove that bin Laden is alive? If not, his book is useless.

I believe his proof involves a conversation with Joe Wilson while having tea and yellow cake somewhere in Africa.

He said he felt compelled to write his story. But he also acknowledges he retired two years early because he ruffled senior management feathers.

There are other people who are still working and who's lives may be in danger given certain information.

Thanks for the ping.

Since when, do we send in a CIA agent ( one !) to kill off an enemy leader and bin Laden at that?

"the story highlights the actions of four brave Muslim American men who went with him"

This is known as the Kerry Cambodian Maneuver...a famed method adopted by the CIA during the Vietnam War after being inspired by the French-looking clown from Massachusetts.

Here we go again... VIPS?

[Cougar66]

so only 5 men were after OBL? Is that what he is saying?

[M. Espinola]

The book at least worth scanning through at the book store.

[nopardons]

BRAVO; well done! I tip my hat to you. :-)

[nopardons]

Yeah right....five American assassins out to get bin Laden. LOL

[conshack]

Imagine that, he got frustrated with the government and retired early. I've got 5 years to go and going crazier every day.
