Excerpt: "'Enemies Within' occasionally reads like a thriller, complete with Zazi fooling a bomb-sniffing dog at the George Washington Bridge and evading the FBI by switching trains in a Manhattan subway station. But Apuzzo and Goldman express a deep ambivalence about the decisions made by both American policy makers and the American electorate since 2001. The authors show how NYPD Intel hired 'rakers' to spy on mosques, how the Department interpreted civil liberties rulings to suit its desires, and how rights guaranteed by the First and Fourth Amendments become null and void in the City of New York when the word 'terrorism' is mentioned. Apuzzo and Goldman gleefully recount the arrogance and failings of Cohen’s Intel group in the race to stop Zazi, but they’re careful to present the NYPD’s rationale as it’s presented to the public: No attacks, though, right? You do want to be safe, don’t you?" http://happynicetimepeople.com/enemies-within-review/

Excerpt: "A hip-hop head at heart, Faraone’s subjects have always been the wild-eyed true-believers for whom no setback is ever permanent and no victory is ever sufficient. The son of a schoolteacher, he’s got a knack for covering people who enjoy beating their heads against the exact same spot on the exact same wall, day after day after day." http://wonkette.com/535238/i-killed-breitbart-chris-faraone
