Introduction : Mad mullahs run amok -- Been loadin' for bin Laden -- The stake out -- The big adios -- Osama slips the noose -- Operation Vampire -- Meeting your maker -- Conclusion : Chasing the mad mullahs -- Epilogue : A diaspora run amok.
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.
