Civil Baer Patrol

On October 16, 2008, on The Tavis Smiley Show on PBS, Tavis talks with former CIA officer Robert Baer, author of The Devil We Know.

Robert Baer is one of the world's foremost authorities on the Middle East. In a 20-year CIA career, he's publicly acknowledged field assignments in India, Lebanon and Kurdish northern Iraq. Baer documented his experiences in the best seller See No Evil—the basis for the acclaimed film, Syriana. He's also presented four documentary series on the origins of suicide bombing. He writes regularly for Time.com and has contributed to various publications, including Vanity Fair. The Devil We Know is Baer's latest book.
