Not in that format.  It's an MTV / reader's digest version of pages 151
- 257 of _Know Your Enemy_ by L. Spitzner & co.  It's a good book, with
the arguable exception of that enormous wad of fluff (Ch 11, "In their
own words") wedged in the middle of it.  Figures that's what the media
would latch onto.  At least you were spared page after page of 'leet
featuring M4ry, D1ck and J4n3.  

If you read the book and decide to wade through that crap looking for
the "good stuff" you're wasting your time, 'taint there.  Skip to the
touchy-feely psychoanalysis at the end of the chapter, or just skip Ch.
11 entirely.  oh-ja: IMHO.
