But was Abu Zubaydah, who is still being indefinitely held by the United States under shadowy circumstances, the blue-ribbon capture that the Bush White House claimed he was? Authors John Kiriakou, who led the capture of Zubaydah, and Joseph Hickman, who took custody of him at Guantanamo, draw a far more complex and intriguing portrait of the al-Qaeda “mastermind” who became a symbol of torture and the “dark side” of US security. From a one-time American collaborator to a poster boy for waterboarding, Abu Zubaydah became a “convenient terrorist”—a way for US authorities to sell their “War on Terror” to the American people.","brand":"Hot Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48683981045989,"sku":"NP9781510711624","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-convenient-terrorist-isbn-9781510711624","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
