"The country committed itself to a 'war on terrorism', but still pays billions of oil dollars to the Saudis, knowing that those dollars fund all the groups with whom America purports to be at war. Fifteen of the nineteen 9-11 hijackers were Saudi, but no one wants to talk about that. Can you imagine the reaction if the hijackers had been Iranian or North Korean?
I think if America were a person, a psychiatrist would classify her as being in profound psychological denial.
I don't know how you can trust an employer like that."
- Assasin John Rain, from Barry Eisler's new thriller Rain Storm.
