    About this audiobook

    New York Times best-selling author Richard Miniter is an award-winning investigative journalist whose insights have shed light on many of todays most vital issues. With Disinformation he takes the popular media to task for the myths they spread about the War on Terror.

    Miniter has spoken to high-profile sources, sifted through countless information, and traveled the globe to learn that 22 of the most common beliefs about the War on Terror are nothing more than urban legends. If you believe there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that terrorists are likely to cross the Mexican border into America, that racial profiling of terrorists works, or that Iraq is another Vietnam, then you believe mistruths.

    Miniter debunks these and other myths put forth by both the liberal and conservative media in this provocative and important work.

    • 4/5
      This book seems very well researched, and sloppy journalism is blamed for the majority of the myths cited.
    • 5/5
      Straight talk - NO fluffRichard Miniter has a great little book here. It is the typical current events book, short on fluff and quick reading, meant to present a point and prove or disprove it. He wastes little time n cultural pontificating, but does seem to lean toward the "right" side of things in some asides.But, it is hard to dispute his research into the 22 myths he dispels. The segments on bin Ladden's money (and non-existent support of he and the Taliban by the USA in the 80s and 90s) and his fictional kidney troubles are particularly enlightening. I consider myself somewhat informed and I even believed that bin Ladden had kidney trouble. Of course, we all should have had a clue in that he has lived this long in caves since 2001. If he really needed kidney dialysis he most surely would have died by now.This book is great fodder if you are wont to argue in favor of the Global War On Terror. It gives you, in one volume, some wonderful back up for your support.Mark this up as another great effort for Miniter. This book is highly recommended.
