Alex Berenson decided to write a novel
about the complexities of the fight against terrorism
after spending three months in Iraq as a reporter for
The New York Times. His book, The Faithful Spy won the 2007 Edgar
Award for Best First Novel. In the interview, Berenson
explains why he made the switch to fiction, what
al Qaeda has in common with the CIA -- and why
Keanu Reeves is his new favorite actor.
