Intelligence Matters by Bob Graham

The amazon links says it is abridged, but my library says it is unabridged- Amazon doesn't say the number of CDs so I can't tell. And why I can't I download audiobooks from the Amazon mp3 store yet?

The most provocative parts of this book are about a cover up of Saudi Arabian connections to the World Trade Center terrorists. There's not a lot to go on, but it does seem the truth is being concealed, whatever the truth is.

Some parts of the book are a little dry, like the overly detailed accounts of senatorial process, and the apparently verbatim quotes out of the inquiry recommendations.

The rest of the book is probably most valuable just as a personally story of historical events from Bob Graham's perspective. Most of the other criticisms and discussions are not going to be that unique to this book though Graham does have some personal experiences and access to classified information to add there.
