The Convenient Terrorist: Two Whistleblowers: Stories of Torture, Terror, Secret Wars, and CIA Lies Audiobook (Free)

A startling spotlight in the darkest sides of America’s ‘Battle on Terror,’ where there is nothing quite what it appears.

The Convenient Terrorist is the definitive inside account of the capture, torture, and detention of Abu Zubaydah, the first ‘high-value target’ captured by the CIA after 9/11. But was Abu Zubaydah, who is still becoming indefinitely held by america under shadowy circumstances, the blue-ribbon capture that the Bush White House claimed he was? Writers John Kiriakou, who led the catch of Zubaydah, and Joseph Hickman, who required guardianship of him at Guantanamo, pull an even more complex and intriguing family portrait of the al-Qaeda ‘œmastermind’ who became a symbol of torture as well as the ‘œdark side’ folks security. From a one-time American collaborator to a poster young man for waterboarding, Abu Zubaydah became a ‘convenient terrorist’ a means for US government bodies to market their ‘Battle on Terror’ towards the American people.
