You've all heard of Stockholm Syndrome, right? You know, the phenomenon where victims display compassion for and even loyalty to their captors? For those who don't know, a quick history lesson.

We will be taking a rather circuitous route – visiting a book website, a bookstore, reactions to a book review, and, eventually, why auditors should care about any of it. That's what happens when you are on a plane with a few hours to kill and they keep pouring things for you to drink. (Caffeine can be an insidious frenemy.)

I have to give up taking informal polls.  I have been asking a simple question - How many here are CIAs?

In the most recent issue of Internal Auditor magazine I got the chance to talk about the recent "catfish" situation regarding Manti Te'o.  If you don't remember what happened (because, let's face it, by this time a lot of more [and less] important stuff has flowed under the metaphorical bridge), you can go back to my article or just Google and Bing to your heart's content to learn what hoards of news reporters, bloggers, tweeters, etc. had to say on the subject.
