Bob Woodward, of All the President's Men fame, the book which helped bring down Richard Nixon as part of Nixon's Watergate criminal activity, has a new book, Obama's Wars, to be released in the next days, this time dealing with Obama.
The New York Times has seen a preview copy of the upcoming book and provides this revealing statement:
"Beyond the internal battles, the book offers fresh disclosures on the nation’s continuing battle with terrorists. It reports that the C.I.A. has a 3,000-man “covert army” in Afghanistan called the Counterterrorism Pursuit Teams, or C.T.P.T., mostly Afghans who capture and kill Taliban fighters and seek support in tribal areas. Past news accounts have reported that the C.I.A. has a number of militias, including one trained on one of its compounds, but not the size of the covert army."
