Worth to recall this old thread from Spring 2013,

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=205541

and the documentary mentioned in it:

That film is an eye opener. The authors did before "Why we fight", which is one of the best documentaries about the Iraq war 2003 I have seen so far.

Yes, this was a good thread, will look for the film as well.

Some good reading:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_the_Dog

and a kind of sequel:

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/19/bo...saga.html?_r=0

" ... Though the two books are filled with equally vicious reality-based events, “The Cartel” reflects the grim latter-day shift from traditional gangster tactics to those of global terrorism. The new book’s cartels have their own private, monstrously media-savvy armies that reflect the basic thinking of Al Qaeda. As one of Mr. Winslow’s characters puts it: “What good is an atrocity if no one knows you did it?” ..."
