Behind the War on terror - Saudi Babylon

I have been reading the book 'Saudi Babylon' by Mark Hollingworth with Sandy Mitchell and I find it very disturbing and difficult reading, particularly the amount of detail.

'I would have confessed to anything' | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited

It makes me ask "Just what are the 'lowest' common denominators of those involved in the War on Terror"?

There are 3 major key links that bind all of the political leaders involved:-

(1) Corruption, especially with regards to military expenditure and 'rebuilding'.
(2) Torture, or a lack of reluctance to send people to countries that torture.
(3) Constitutional and democratic abuses.

This all leads me to ask 'Is the War on Terror a front for Crony Capitalism masquerading as 'globalism''?
