STATE OF WAR: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE CIA AND THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION

摘要

On September 11, 2001, suicide terrorists killed thousands of unsuspecting American citizens by hijacking and crashing airplanes into prominent American buildings.4 The President of the United States, George W. Bush immediately responded by launching a worldwide manhunt for those responsible.5 He declared that he would take every precaution to protect American citizens from further attacks at home and abroad.6 President Bush further stated that he would unleash the "full resources of the intelligence and law enforcement communities" to find those responsible, "making no distinction between the terrorists who committed the acts and those who harbor them."7 It is against this backdrop that State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration unfolds.
