Straw Man

By Roland Keller

When President William Robert Ayerhed calls on his Special Assistant on Politics Joshua Hussein to portray a Middle Eastern figure in a video that Joshua is told is to improve relations between the United States and the people of the Middle East, he finds himself embroiled in a dark conspiracy that has cast him in a role at odds with the truth.
