This document page appears to be a transcript of an interview with a political psychologist (likely Jerrold Post, based on the book title mentioned) discussing the psychological profiles of autocrats like Muammar Qadhafi and Saddam Hussein. The speaker analyzes how these leaders are surrounded by sycophants, insulating them from political reality, and how their narcissism leads to 'narcissistic rage' when their self-image is threatened, citing Saddam's burning of Kuwaiti oil wells as an example. The document bears a House Oversight stamp.
