The Convenient Terrorist: Two Whistleblowers' Stories of Torture, Terror, Secret Wars, and CIA Lies

A startling spotlight on the darkest corners of Americaâ€™s Â“War on Terror,â€ where nothing is quite what it seems.

The Convenient Terrorist is the definitive inside account of the capture, torture, and detention of Abu Zubaydah, the first Â“high-value targetâ€ captured by the CIA after 9/11. But was Abu Zubaydah, who is still being indefinitely held by the United States under shadowy circumstances, the blue-ribbon capture that the Bush White House claimed he was? Authors John Kiriakou, who led the capture of Zubaydah, and Joseph Hickman, who took custody of him at Guantanamo, draw a far more complex and intriguing portrait of the al-Qaeda Â“mastermindâ€ who became a symbol of torture and the Â“dark sideâ€ of US security. From a one-time American collaborator to a poster boy for waterboarding, Abu Zubaydah became a Â“convenient terroristâ€Â—a way for US authorities to sell their Â“War on Terrorâ€ to the American people.
