In an interview with Antiwar.com’s Antiwar Radio on
May 18, Scheuer, who was the head analyst at the
CIA’s bin Laden unit, Alec Station, and authored the
books Through Our Enemies Eyes and Imperial Hubris,
said "I thought Mr. Paul captured it the other night
exactly correctly. This war is dangerous to America
because it’s based, not on gender equality, as Mr.
Giuliani suggested, or any other kind of freedom,
but simply because of what we do in the Islamic
World ' because ‘we’re over there,’ basically, as
Mr. Paul said in the debate."
Scheuer also agreed with Dr. Paul’s statement in the
debate that the war in Iraq was a diversion from
capturing or killing Osama bin Laden and that bin
Laden was "elighted" that the U.S. is occupying
Iraq as it has become a training ground and
recruiting tool for new jihadists joining the
movement.
