The Triple Agent: The al-Qaeda Mole who Infiltrated the CIA by Joby Warrick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That was a quick read...maybe we ought to lose power more often (from Hurricane Irene). This really was a well-written, fast-paced book, though, with a fascinating story of how a Jordanian doctor got caught up in a daring/brazen al-Qaeda/Taliban (while in the borderlands of Pakistan & Afghanistan on "assignment" for the Jordanian secret police) plan to hit back at the West. Some very difficult & costly lessons were hopefully learned by our intelligence services. Bottom-line: do NOT be in a rush, no matter how good things look. And do NOT trust without carefully verifying/checking. Period.
