Details how Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda fighters slipped out
of Afghanistan during the battles of Tora Bora and Operation
Anaconda. The author also charges that Western media outlets, eager
to satisfy their audience's thirst for revenge, lost their grasp on
journalistic objectivity while covering bin Laden's pursuit.
Blinding patriotism and reliance on Pentagon press releases led
them to portray events not reflecting reality on the ground. He
contends that to satisfy the press and the public's need for
vengeance, the Bush administration pushed to achieve early, highly
visible successes to the detriment of long-term strategy.
Impatience at the top forced a rush into a war aimed primarily at
"regime change," which left the U.S. military largely empty-handed.
