Interesting! I'm not a big Michael Scheuer fan, and I question the veracity of "some" of the information in Dan Sanchez's article, but even assuming that only a small portion of Sanchez's info is accurate and correct; it makes you wonder; especially about the train of thought a couple of years ago within the White House; the State Department, and theJoint Chiefs of Staff....
