The Triple Agent fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

A stunning narrative account of the mysterious Jordanian who penetrated both the inner circle of al-Qaeda and the highest reaches of the CIA, with a devastating impact on the war on terror.

In December 2009, a group of the CIA’s top terrorist hunters gathered at a base in Khost, Afghanistan, to greet a rising superspy: Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian double agent who had infiltrated the inner circle of al-Qaeda. For months, he had sent solid intelligence on Osama bin Laden’s operations center and now promised to help the CIA destroy the terrorist network. Instead, as he stepped from his car, he detonated a thirty-pound bomb strapped to his chest, instantly killing seven CIA operatives, the agency’s worst loss of life in decades.

In The Triple Agent , Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Joby Warrick takes us deep inside the CIA’s war against al-Qaeda. His account of the Khost attack exposes dangerous weaknesses in an intelligence agency that has become overly reliant on remote-controlled drones, and he reveals the mysterious al-Balawi to be a formidable, multilayered opponent. Combining the powerful momentum of Black Hawk Down with the institutional insight of Jane Mayer’s The Dark Side , Warrick leads us to top levels of the Obama administration, where desperation to capture bin Laden led to tragic mistakes, and into the CIA, where the stinging defeat set off new clashes over spycraft and ignited a thirst for revenge.

约旦是个温和的阿拉伯国家，人口仅有600万。它不仅与美国结盟，而且与以色列达成了正式和解。

截止2001年，约旦情报局的大部分预算都是由资金充裕的合作者美国所承担。

中情局在中东地区最大的反恐中心，即约旦的首都安曼。

在古希腊，为了勉励自己的儿子英勇作战，斯巴达勇士的母亲经常会说：“带着你的盾牌回来，不然就战死沙场。”

最严重的不足之处就是缺乏想象力。

……在2009年12月30日之前，中情局没有任何人会想到，一名线人之所以要与其负责人会面，仅仅是为了与他们同归于尽。
