Anyone read Sleeping With the Devil? - Washington Saudi oil connection

[Wickerman]

by Robert Baer

A friend gave me this to read last night - so far it sounds right on. First few pages are damning and he weaves a tale of the US being totally complicit, bought and and paid for by the royal Sauds. Anyone read this? Is it worth the time? Any word on Baer? Trustworthy? Associations now that he is out of the CIA? Supporting any of the candidates/ Know how he feels about this Janet and Jason (justin?) Superbowl thing?

In his explosive New York Times bestseller, See No Evil, former CIA operative Robert Baer exposed how Washington politics drastically compromised the CIA’s efforts to fight global terrorism. Now in his powerful new book, Sleeping with the Devil, Baer turns his attention to Saudi Arabia, revealing how our government’s cynical relationship with our Middle Eastern ally and America’s dependence on Saudi oil make us increasingly vulnerable to economic disaster and put us at risk for further acts of terrorism.

1. I did and I highly recommend it

I've loaned it to several people, one of whom has now given it to her husband to read. Very scary and fascinating book. :thumbsup:

2. Thanks

was hoping I wouldn't be disappointed. The loaner told me I wouldn't sleep at night after reading it - I think I'm a tad more cynical than he assumes, but am looking forward to digging in.
