[edit] The Beginning: "Like the Cowardly Dog He Was"

[edit] Chapter 1. The Fear : Who's Afraid of Osama Wolf?

This chapter begins with Greg Palast asking an Israeli security expert he knows why Israel doesn't publish a color-coded guide to terrorism like the United States does. The security expert says the only people who would regularly check it are the terrorists to find out what days security is lax. The next section explains why Al-Qaeda hasn't attacked the United States since September 11. Palast then reveals what made Osama bin Laden hate the USA. The next section reveals a little-known fact that will astonish most Americans. The next section looks at what happened to the investigation of Khan Labs. Palast then wonders why the FBI agents who are looking over your summer reading list are not checking Swiss, Pakistani, and Saudi bank transfer records instead. Next, Palast looks at a document marked "199-I", code word for a national security matter, that reveals who killed the investigation of WAMY, a group run by a nephew and half-brother of bin Laden, and had connections to the first World Trade Center bombers in 1993. The next couple of sections deal with the question of who funded and trained Osama in the beginning. He wraps up this chapter by telling the reader about the "Marine Torpedo", no this isn't a torpedo that goes in water, it's a torpedo that carries Marines. At a pretty big price tag too.
