US ‘losing fight against terror’
US policy in the “war on terror” is harshly criticised in a new book by an intelligence official who says the battle against al-Qaeda is being lost.
The author, identified as Anonymous, claims the invasion of Iraq has played into the hands of Osama Bin Laden and has not made America any safer.
Book by C.I.A. Officer Says U.S. Is Losing Fight Against Terror
In the book, the author denounced the American invasion of Iraq as “an avaricious, premeditated unprovoked war against a foe who posed no immediate threat,” and said it would fuel the anti-American sentiments on which Mr. bin Laden and his followers draw. “There is nothing that bin Laden could have hoped for more than the American invasion and occupation of Iraq,” he writes.
