I have to admit I'm only half-way through Timmerman's book. ...the part where the "Crown Prince" is a young man, squandering this wealth and not to sure what his role in Iran politics should be. ...or who to trust.

Timmerman has some unique access and seems very well informed.

I hope Bush doesn't really think he's going to talk to the Mullahs about their nuclear ambitions.

Timmerman has "unique" access? To whom? US Govt. sources? Yes. INtel sources? Yes. BUT Give me a break!

Did he go in and out of the palace? Did he hang out with any of the royals? Did he hang out with the TOP leaders of the country at their homes and offices? Did he hang out with all the top military? Was he there when the revolution happened? Was he involved in any of it?

I was and did.

Now I see. You read 1/2 a Timmerman book (and you must have been 1/2 asleep while reading) and think you have enough information to slander Reza Pahlavi?
