Synopsis
Are we safer now than we were on 9/11? Ronald Kessler addresses this important question in a book that assesses the counterterrorism efforts by the U.S. since that day. Kessler provides insider accounts of how all agencies, including the new National Counterterrorism Center, are focused on the mission, and reveals how terrorist plots in London and Canada have been thwarted. Thousands of terrorists have been rounded up, says Kessler, but there remains a threat from many sources, such as mosques that preach hatred. He chides the media for revealing too much, claiming that lives have been lost as a result, and he says the media misinforms the public, especially on the level of cooperation among agencies, which he says is considerable. Among the many new revelations is an in-depth account from the FBI agent involved in debriefing Saddam Hussein. Kessler bases his information on his unprecedented access to documents and his interviews with the heads of the CIA and FBI, as well as access to operatives working in the field who tell him that the danger from terrorism remains great.
