It begs to be written, although the first draft has already been published. It is titled “Sleeping with the DEVIL” BY Robert Baer, published by Crown Pub (Random House). "Sleeping with the Devil" made my jaw drop open. I thought I understood how the Saudi’s bought the US but I was stunned by the extent that our institutions are out of our hands. Write it.

The so-called heroic and anti-establishment leftists have almost always made far more money than their conservative counterparts. William F. Buckley was a rare exception, the Left’s chosen token conservative. Ibn Warraq’s Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism, has just been released. I doubt very much if it will be more than a modest seller. Said likely earned a minimum of a million dollars from Orientalism. Warraq’s newest work may not earn what Said obtained from one forgettable lecture at a second rate college. Publishers of non-fiction works realize that book sales often depend on students being compelled to purchase a copy for a classroom assignment. Leftists have a clear monopoly in this regard.
