The November Man - Drew Phipps - 27-12-2014
Just saw "The November Man" (2014) with Pierce Brosnan. The movie itself is a fair to middlling spy/action flick with a high body count.
However, one of the movie's premises is interesting, that the CIA conspired with a foreign government (Russia) to bring down a civilian building as a false flag event and justify a war resulting in increased oil production.
Here is a wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_November_Man
The movie is based on the novel There Are No Spies by Bill Granger, which is the seventh installment in The November Man novel series, published in 1987. Has anyone read any of these books?

The "casis belli" event described in the November Man actually occurred. I am supposing that this part of the movie is written into the story after 1987.
"On 16 November 1996, in Kaspiysk (Dagestan) a bomb destroyed an apartment building housing Russian border guards; 68 people died. The cause of the blast was never determined, but many in Russia blamed it on Chechen separatists.[SUP]"
