Some of you may wonder whether you should read the 549-pages of George Tenet's At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA. I say of course you should read it. Do you want to miss those insights on the Middle East? "When I was with King Hussein, I always felt that I was in the presence of wisdom and history, and yet when I met him for the first time, at his own palace, he had come up to the car I arrived in, opened the door himself, and said to me,"Good morning, sir. It's good to meet you."(pp. 70-71). Or "Then-Crown Prince Abdullah is an incredibly impressive amn, a billionaire like many Saudi princes, yet one who has never allowed himself to forget his roots."(p. 247)
