There is a very real problem with Bodansky because he does not footnote his books -- nor does he footnote the studies he prepares for the House Sub-Committee on Terrorism. Personally, I have real questions regarding the veracity of some of his material on Sudan and the Balkans. That may just be me, but he is rarely quoted by serious researchers because some of his material (the twenty suitcase atomic bombs in the hands of Al Qaeda, for example) is really questionable.
