The link to "read the whole article" is a link to Bethanne Patrick's twitter feed.

In related news, John McCain has been delivering smart-ass tweets to Vladimir Putin. Weird world.

Meanwhile, everyone in Afghanistan is laughing at us and how naive we are about Pakistan.

The books they gave away were promoted as sponsored giveaways. What they didn't do was reveal that the interviews on twitter were promoted, except on the web site. But it was all listed on the web site.

And why the fuck do you care about telegraphing what you are going to review? When did the stranger become an intelligence agency?
