\nmaybe the Bible — these are the ones the White House doesn’t want you to know about.
\nAccording to Haber, they include the post-Clausewitz classic “The Five Thousand
\nDead Iraqi People You Meet in Heaven,”<\/STRONG> the prisoner-of-war primer
\n“Beats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Abu
\nGhraib,”<\/STRONG> the unconventional life story “Me Talk Pretty One

\nInheritance”<\/STRONG> and the philosophy handbook “This I Believe: An A to B
\nof a Life.”<\/STRONG><\/P>
