Tora Bora Bungle?
Gary Berntsen, a CIA veteran who headed a paramilitary team called "Jawbreaker" during the Afghan war, said in a book published last week that one of his Arabic-speaking operatives found a radio on a dead al-Qaeda fighter during the Tora Bora battle and heard the terrorist leader repeatedly try to rally his troops.His book was "heavily edited by CIA censors" and I haven't heard anyone from the agency calling him a liar...yet. Curious to see how this shakes out.
