I read the kindle version of this book. I think some of the points he makes about the Afghanistan war and our intelligence system are valid. However, he goes on a bit about how his data-mining project uncovered the 9/11 guys before 9/11, but having read this book and the 9/11 commission it seems to be there were other, better sources of intel warning about the 9/11 guys that were ignored as well.

Alot of the DoD "blacking out" is downright silly--it doesn't take half a brain to figure out what the single blacked out word in a sentence is provided the context of surrounding paragraphs.
