04 October 2010Loretta Napoleoni traces the link between the finances of the war on terror and the global economic crisis, finding connections from Dubai to London to Las Vegas that politicians and the media have at best ignored. Terrorists, she says, spend their days searching for money because terrorism is a very expensive business. The decisions and the political and ideological lines are decided by a very small group of people, and these are the leaders. All the rest are like soldiers, they do exactly what they're told to do.
