The guy on Imus was not Robin Moore, it was a guy named Jack Idema (sp?) who is engaged in the promotion of the book. I have it on very good authority that this guy Idema is not and was not active SF at the time that the events depicted in the book occurred. I am also given to understand that this guy Idema (sp?) has had, shall we say, a "checkered" past.

None is this proves one way or another the quality or the accuracy of the book, but my sources say that you shouldn't believe much, if anything, this guy Idema (sp?) says.

I heard that guy this AM on Imus too. I thought he sounded a little shady. I know some stuff about SF and it seemed like to me that the guy had been out of circulation for awhile. He definitely is still not active. If so he'd be cpurt martialed for some of the "secrets" he was blabing. Who knows...I'm sure the book is very informative and an interesting read.

I heard the last part of this interview and thought the guy sounded credible. But I heard Imus call him both Moore and Idema, so I was confused. He had been over in Afghanistan from what I understand. I noticed that he contradicted a lot of what Ijaz has been saying (not by name, just by substance). I have questions about both of these men; this is helpful. Thanks for posting.

Oh sh*t, you're right! No wonder he sounded so young! Robin Moore was born in 1925! Hmmm. Who is this Jack guy? Now I am really confused! Thanks though.

You sure it isn't Keith Idema?

He's claiming that the movie Peacemaker is based on his efforts at stopping Russian nuclear smuggling.

J. Keith Idema "Jack" is a former Special Forces Sgt with a very checkered past. He was also playing in Afghanistan selling AQ Tapes like the famous CBS tape for $50,000.00USD and other to the press. While he was telling people he was with the Northern Alliance though the NA's Washington Office diened any of this in Writing. Idema was also assiting Ismail Kahn the Afghan Warlord who was being backed by Iran. My sources also tell me that he assited Gulbuddin Hekmatyar a real bad guy. Idema is suing the likes of Oliver Stone because Idema claims that Stone stole one of his movies scripts.

Why Robin gave him some mention in the book is beyond me and more than likely many others. Now watch this guy self promote the book. He should be shot!
