I believe this is the journalist who goes after Scientology in the upcoming (Feb) NEW YORKER magazine. Can't wait to read it. I've heard a 20 min interview on NPR's Fresh Air. Google NPR and click on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, I believe his her last name. She speaks with Lawerence...

Thank you for your reccomendation and to pass on to you: Taliban and Jihad; both by Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid.

This book reads like a novel, read it in about 16 hrs. total. Have also read, because of this book: The Rise, Corruption and Coming Fall of The House of Saud, by Said K. Aburis; and The Kingdom: Arabia & The House of Sa'ud, by Robert Lacy.

Not only was this the best ever on 9/11, it is without doubt, one of the best books that I have read, period.

Masterminds of Terror: The Truth Behind the Most Devastating Attack The World Has Ever Seen by Yousri Fouda is a good book on this subject.

The Looming Towers was a great piece of literature.

1000 Years For Revenge is even better!

Just finished The Looming Tower which is not just a great piece of investigative journalism but on of the best books I've ever read. Would love to see HBO turn it into a mini-series like THE WIRE.
