Robert Baer on developments in Iran. Mr. Baer spent twenty years running agents from inside the CIA s Directorate of Operations, from 1976 to 1997, working against Hizballah, Al-Qaeda, and other terrorist organizations. He is considered by Seymour Hersh as "perhaps the best on-the-ground field officer ever to serve in the Middle East." Robert Baer is the author of two New York Times bestsellers: Sleeping with the Devil, about the Saudi royal family and its relationship with the United States; and See No Evil, which recounts Baer's years as a top CIA operative. See No Evil was the basis for the acclaimed film Syriana, which earned George Clooney an Oscar for his portrayal of Mr. Baer. Robert Baer writes regularly for Time.com and has contributed to Vanity Fair, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. He is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on the Middle East. His most recent book is "The Devil We Know: Dealing with the New Iranian Superpower."
