"Phil Rees’ encounters with ‘terrorists’ – encapsulated in just under 400 pages – is a vindication of his steadfast refusal to describe perpetrators of political violence ‘terrorists’.

"During 2006, reductions of U.S. troop levels in Iraq -- accompanied by intensive media spin about prospects for U.S. military disengagement -- are likely even while the already-horrific air war escalates.
