(9 p.m. ET) "Usama bin Laden" is a name Americans have come to associate with evil, but how much do we really know about the man himself? Yossef Bodansky, author of Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America, has been following his career since 1981. He joins us tonight.
It's MUST SEE TV! He knows a GREAT DEAL about not only bin Laden but all other terrorist entities.

Hugs.
Biography of Yossef Bodansky"Yossef Bodansky, an internationally renowned military and threat analyst, is the director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare. In addition he is the director of research of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA) and a senior editor for the Defense & Foreign Affairs group of publications. The author of six books on American defense and foreign affairs and a former senior consultant to the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, Mr. Bodansky actively participates in international forums and conferences in the United States and abroad."
I think I'll trust his credentials. Congress does.
Bodansky is a prominent fixture on just about every pro-Israel publication that exists. He's bought and paid for by those people.
Please source with facts your claims about Youssef Bodansky.
If you've actually even read the book, I'd also like refutation on some of the claims he's made that have come to pass, as well. If you haven't read the book, I'd suggest you do before you libel him.
Now, your ignorance of Mr. Bodansky is showing. He has spent many, many years in the Middle East. Unless you're willing to call him a liar, because it's printed in his book -- along with the many assignments he's had there for the US.
Please list specific sources that would discredit Mr. Bodansky that are not based on your assumptions that he sits behind a desk stateside.
Thanks!
Start with that cruise missile attack on the aspirin factory in Sudan.
This attack was based on a Bodansky story that Saddam was using other regimes including Sudan to transfer his WMD technology overseas.
Bodansky Cited on Sudanese Chemical Weapons
The transfer of Iraqi WMD overseas started even before the outbreak of the Gulf War. Back in 1990 when Baghdad realised that Iraq would be subjected to intense bombing key sensitive elements were smuggled out. In Spring 1991 a second round of hasty smuggling took place. Essentially the core of the next generation projects of the Iraqi WMD programs was moved to safe havens . . . Sudan needs WMD in order to hit the Black rebels in the south and deter Western intervention against the Islamist terrorism empire. Hence Iraq found eager and willing partners for its efforts to circumvent the world's campaign against WMD."[14]With people like this, you need "second sources."Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, US House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515, The Iraqi WMD Challenge, Myths and Reality, Bodansky
