《黑镜》(Black Mirror)第一季第一集,讲述了一次依赖于互联网传媒实现的另类“荣誉犯罪”。实际上,尽管“足不出户,尽览天下”是人们亘古以来的梦想,而互联网的飞速发展也几乎让它成为了现实,但其负面效应也显而易见。如果一个人仅仅是一个“荣誉体”,那么通过互联网,...
评分#書 2015《Black Flags》7/10 有時候很怕讀這類書,讀完之後好像明白了什麼,但細想又還是一團麻,身心難受。通常是依靠把注意力轉到下一本書,慢慢擺脫這種不適感,可在某一個時刻,那種絕望的情緒會突然襲來,籠罩全身。 文筆精彩,結構嚴謹,情節層層推進,不愧是拿了普立茲...

评分最近看了一部美剧《国土安全》(Homeland),主题是反恐,还去买了一本拿了普利策奖的的纪实调查《黑旗:ISIS的崛起》,因为封面的扎卡维乍看之下实在太像《国土安全》第一季里面的恐怖分子头目Abu Nazir了,一下子激起了我浓厚的兴趣(后来才发现不像)。 《国土安全》中的...

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Joby Warrick reveals how the strain of militant Islam now raising its banner across Iraq and Syria spread from a remote Jordanian prison with the unwitting aid of American military intervention.
When he succeeded his father in 1999, King Abdullah of Jordan released a batch of political prisoners in the hopes of smoothing his transition to power. Little did he know that among those released was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a man who would go on to become a terrorist mastermind too dangerous even for al-Qaeda and give rise to an Islamist movement bent on dominating the Middle East.
Zarqawi began by directing hotel bombings and assassinations in Jordan from a base in northern Iraq, but it was the American invasion of that country in 2003 that catapulted him to the head of a vast insurgency. By identifying him as the link between Saddam and bin Laden, the CIA inadvertently created a monster. Like-minded radicals saw him as a hero resisting the infidel occupiers and rallied to his cause. Their wave of brutal beheadings and suicide bombings continued for years until Jordanian intelligence provided the Americans with the crucial intelligence needed to eliminate Zarqawi in a 2006 airstrike.
But his movement endured, first called al-Qaeda in Iraq, then renamed Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, seeking refuge in unstable, ungoverned pockets on the Iraq-Syria border. And as the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011, ISIS seized its chance to pursue Zarqawi's dream of a sweeping, ultra-conservative Islamic caliphate.
Drawing on unique access to CIA and Jordanian sources, Joby Warrick weaves together heart-pounding, moment-by-moment operational details with overarching historical perspectives to reveal the long trajectory of today's most dangerous Islamic extremist threat.
