[Mail] The CIA has been accused of political bias by trying to stall publication of an explosive memoir which could damage Hillary Clinton's chances of reaching the White House.The book tells the story of CIA contractor Raymond Davis, who was imprisoned in Pakistan in 2011 after shooting two men in self defense before being released in a controversial blood-money deal.
According to the authors, the CIA held the book manuscript for several months before demanding a swathe of redactions - even on information that is publicly available - pushing the publication of the book from September 2016 to March 2017.
Davis and his co-author Storms Reback believe the book - entitled The Contractor - could be seen as another 'Benghazi situation' for presidential candidate Clinton - which may explain the agency's attempts to delay publication until after the November 2016 election.
They also accuse the State Department - under Clinton's rule - of withholding two key interviews carried out for the book, which almost prevented the memoir from being written at all.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the book's co-author Storms Reback revealed how Army veteran Davis has 'zero trust' in Clinton as a potential president and believes she would have abandoned him in a Pakistani prison, facing possible execution.
He thinks that had it not been for the U.S. military's plans to kill Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil, Davis would still be languishing in prison - or worse still, dead.
Author Reback, 46, said: 'Both Ray and I believe the CIA are acting politically by delaying publication - they held on to the book for six months and slowed the whole thing down.
'It definitely seems like there is something funny going on behind the scenes - the book was supposed to come out the third week of September and the CIA went out of its way to delay the whole process.
'We turned the manuscript in months ago, then they redacted it, we responded and then they weren't happy with the changes. It kept getting delayed until the point where we had to push publication to March 2017.
'Ray does think that maybe the CIA, even though he is loyal to them, didn't want it to be published right before the election because it could have an influence on it.
'Although this incident isn't exactly the same, it could be seen as a mini-Benghazi for Hillary Clinton.
