Renee Bouvier's Error

Renee Bouvier,

For the second time, you are simply mistaken in your recollection that I was at Hebrew University in 1979 in any capacity whatsoever. I was not (although I did study there five years earlier.)

Furthermore, your critique of my work--the most important of which is the book, "Study of Revenge" is devoid of substance, beyond the claim that almost everyone agrees with you.. Notably, however, that work was highly praised by the prosecutor of the World Trade Center bombers, who, while he was in government was considered to be the US official who knew the most about that bombing. He described the book as "work the US government should have done." --ie the intelligence investigation into the bombing that the Clinton administration had failed to do.

Somewhat similarly, the head of New York FBI--the lead investigative agency in the World Trade Center bombing--stated, "Although we are unable to say with certainty the Iraqis were behind the bombing, that is certainly the theory accepted by most of the veteran investigators."
