Everything You Ought To Know About Osama Bin Laden: Former CIA Officer Michael Scheuer On America's Public Enemy Number One


I interviewed Michael Scheuer yesterday for the next issue of Counterterrorism magazine.

The veteran former CIA officer, who served as the chief of the Bin Laden Unit (called Alec Station) at the CIA's Counterterrorist Center from 1996 to 1999, has written an interesting and informative book called Osama bin Laden.

Although I don't totally agree with his worldview, I respect his knowledge, his opinion, his service to the country, and his commitment to the security of our country.

I'll post the interview here when the magazine comes out.

You can read more about his book, published by Oxford University Press, via the below link:
