Dead or Alive / Tom Clancy / 950 pages

January reading...Guess there is one good thing about the war on terrorism...authors have lots of fodder for books. In his usual detailed technical manner, Tom Clancy takes us on the search for the #1 most wanted terrorist in the caves of Pakistan. Back in the US, we are insiders who take part in the action of a special, secret Campus organization formed by former Prez Jack Ryan who grants them get out of jail free cards. Here you have a secret non-government organization who gets the job done by spying on all the other government sanctioned groups who can't seem to share or get their act together. Found myself slogging through to the end but got kind of tired of all the political posturing by the author. Just give us a good story; we can figure out the rest.
