He was responsible for coordinating covert aid to the Afghanistan mujahideen in their fight against the Soviets. He’s now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and still advises the Defense Department. And Robert Dreyfuss is a journalist and contributing editor at ‘The Nation’ and author of the book ‘Devil’s Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam.'”
