The War on Terror

In Countdown to Terror, Rep. Curt Weldon (R.-Pa.), vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, exposes a deeply dysfunctional culture and perverse political agendas in American intelligence that are endangering American security. He explains why the recent restructuring of the intelligence agencies will do nothing to fix our broken and failing intelligence services.

Could the next 9/11 be nuclear? This is no theory, says Weldon and former CIA officer Peter Vincent Pry. It is a fact as real as the arrest of Muslim terrorists who planned to crash a plane into the Seabrook nuclear power plant in Massachusetts in 2004.

What's even more stunning, Weldon tried to warn American intelligence about the attack-but no one in America's intelligence community would listen. How did Weldon know about it? Because of a secret source, an intelligence contact code-named Ali who has been a treasure trove of reliable intelligence-intelligence that, despite Weldon's strenuous efforts, has been routinely ignored by the CIA and the rest of America's intelligence services.

In Countdown to Terror, Weldon lets you know what the CIA doesn't want to know. You'll learn, straight from Ali's actual reports:

* Why Iran will decide the next terror strike on America.

* How a major planned terror strike was called off because the terrorists thought it would help President Bush politically.

* Why Iran, not al Qaeda, is the command post of radical Islamic terror.

* Who is undercutting American efforts to create a peaceful, stable Iraq.

* Why Iran is like the Soviet Union in the 1980s: extremely dangerous, the iron glove behind all our enemies-yet on the verge of internal collapse.

* The Iranian nuclear program: red-hot and more advanced than you think.

Weldon's sharing of vital intelligence with you, the reading public, is unprecedented. But it is necessary so that the American people can be informed and pressure our government to do what needs to be done to protect our country, fix our still broken intelligence services, and win the war on terrorism.

The most dangerous Muslim radicals won't be sneaking through our borders from the Middle East-they're already here. That's the alarming message of Washington-based investigative reporter Paul Sperry's new book, Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington. Using access to classified documents as well as exclusive interviews with FBI agents, customs officers and military intelligence officials, Sperry reveals how the top levels of our government, armed forces and intelligence agencies have been compromised by radical Muslims-many of them trained, supported and inserted into their positions by the so-called "moderate" Muslim establishment in America. Cleverly exploiting "diversity," "religious freedom" and tax-exemption laws, these subversives have gained firm footholds in key American institutions, including public schools and universides, the federal and state prison system, law enforcement, the military, nuclear weapons laboratories, the Department of Homeland security-even the White House.

The ultimate goal of these subversives, according to Sperry-quoting verbatim from some of the most respected and "mainstream" Muslim leaders in America-is to replace the U.S. Constitution with Sharia (Islamic) law and turn America into an Islamic state. And, as Sperry details point-by-point, they have been aided and abetted in their sinister aims by tireless champions of spiritual and cultural relativism in the media and academia, who have mitigated the threat in the public's mind by "mainstreaming" Islam.

In the days after Sept. 11, 2001, it was assumed that the 19 hijackers must have been bom killers and brilliant fanatics. In reality, most of them came from apolitical and only moderately religious backgrounds-but as they matured, they evolved into devout, pious Muslims who debated endlessly about how best to fulfill what they came to regard as their religious obligations. Now, in Perfect Soldiers: The Hijackers-Who They Were, Why They Did It, Terry McDermott traces these men's lives and the evolution of their beliefs, telling a disturbing story about the power of Islam to turn men into fanatical killers. In the course of his reporting, ranging more than 20 countries and four continents, McDermott interviewed scores of friends and relatives and uncovered thousands of pages of confidential documents. He uses his unrivaled research to explore the lives of each of the principal 9/11 hijackers' upbringings, parsing their home lives, relationships and educations for clues to how middle-class kids turned into suicidal zealots.
