Thanks for submitting this. I have read Robert Baer's books but I was not familiar with his new projects.

The reason I have found Robert Baer to be of particular interest is due to his intimate familiarity with the middle east. It is rare that we come across someone of his caliber who is willing to speak out so vocally against the organization where he worked for several decades.

I strongly recommend his first book, See No Evil, which the movie Syriana was based on.

I didn't read the book, but the article is good. I tend to ignore the differences between Shia and Sunni muslims when thinking about Islam, but thanks to articles like this one can realize that they often hate each other more than western countries.
