Bin Laden was trained and funded by the CIA. The Bush Administration killed 100,000 civilians in Iraq. The Jews who worked at the World Trade Center were warned not to work on Sept. 11. These are just some of the myths that have appeared in mainstream media outlets. Collectively, these myths undermine wartime U.S. morale and confuse the discussion of vital issues.

Straight talk - NO fluff

Richard Miniter has a great little book here. It is the typical current events book, short on fluff and quick reading, meant to present a point and prove or disprove it. He wastes little time n cultural pontificating, but does seem to lean toward the "right" side of things in some asides.

But, it is hard to dispute his research into the 22 myths he dispels. The segments on bin Ladden's money (and non-existent support of he and the Taliban by the USA in the 80s and 90s) and his fictional kidney troubles are particularly enlightening. I consider myself somewhat informed and I even believed that bin Ladden had kidney trouble. Of course, we all should have had a clue in that he has lived this long in caves since 2001. If he really needed kidney dialysis he most surely would have died by now.

This book is great fodder if you are wont to argue in favor of the Global War On Terror. It gives you, in one volume, some wonderful back up for your support.

Mark this up as another great effort for Miniter. This book is highly recommended. ( )

This book seems very well researched, and sloppy journalism is blamed for the majority of the myths cited. ( )
