Desperate Race to Stop Next 9/11

FBI Director Robert Mueller candidly
told Newsmax's Ronald Kessler that the
nuclear scenario has made it difficult
for him to sleep at night.
It has been over six years since the horrific attacks of Sept. 11, but Federal officials remain in an almost frenetic, frantic effort to stop the next incredible attack.

Award winning journalist Ronald Kessler, chief Washington correspondent of Newsmax, details for the first time how the government has been attempting to prevent the next 9/11 in his latest, read-like-a-thriller, “The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack.”

When FBI Director Robert Mueller revealed his very real fears that al-Qaida would explode a nuclear device in the United States, he did so to Kessler.

“The Terrorist Watch” lays out Mueller’s startling claims about how al-Qaida is trying to acquire a nuclear device and why he thinks New York and Washington would be the first cities targeted with such a weapon.

Mueller candidly told Kessler that the nuclear scenario has made it difficult for him to sleep at night.

Drawing on unprecedented access to FBI and CIA counterterrorism operatives, Kessler presents the heroic efforts being made to stop such a plot.

Kessler takes you inside the war rooms of this battle — from the newly created National Counterterrorism Center to FBI headquarters, from the CIA to the National Security Agency, from the Pentagon to the Oval Office — to explain why we have gone so long since 9/11 without another major attack.

And he also tells why the current threat environment remains as dangerous as ever.

The head of the National Counterterrorism Center bluntly tells Kessler that the public “just knows the tip of the iceberg . . . There are lots terrorists out there.”

Based on exclusive interviews with FBI Director Robert Mueller, CIA Director Michael Hayden, White House Counterterrorism Chief Fran Townsend, and dozens of key intelligence operatives at all levels, “The Terrorists Watch” provides stunning insight:

* Reveals the previously unreported story of how the United States helped thwart the 2006 London terrorist plot that sought to explode in flight nine commercial planes en route to the United States
* Reveals how the CIA and FBI have rolled up more than 5,000 terrorists worldwide since 9/11
* For the first time gives the real story of dozens of attacks prevented, including targets such as the Sears Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, the New York Stock Exchange, the Citigroup Building, the World Bank and IMF offices, the Prudential Building (Newark), Los Angeles’ Library Tower, the PATH train tunnels under the Hudson River, and the Panama Canal
* How a low-level CIA analyst, trolling through e-mails, was able to identify and locate terrorist Abu Zubaydah, one of bin Laden’s top commanders and explains why the CIA saved Abu Zubaydah’s life, even sending a U.S. surgeon on a chartered jet to operate on him and how the effort netted the CIA a key piece of information that led to the capture of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
* Offers new details about al-Qaida’s terror plans, including plans to explode U.S. apartment buildings using natural gas
* Provides a stunning insider's account from the FBI agent who spent eight months debriefing Saddam Hussein after his capture
* Pinpoints press leaks that have resulted in CIA agents' deaths, caused foreign countries to stop cooperating on key investigations, and even tipped off Osama bin Laden to U.S. surveillance
* Details the stunning admission made by the liberal ACLU about the Bush Patriot Act
* Destroys numerous media myths, such as the canard that the FBI and CIA still don't cooperate on investigations
* Tells who is really behind the idea of an American MI5, a domestic intelligence agency to spy on U.S. citizens
* Shows how the NSA’s “eveasdropping” and “domestic spying” of telephone calls has never targeted U.S. citizens,
* Reveals new technology: how the CIA uses laser beams and a new technology to listen to private conversations
* Shares never before publicized details of America’s most secret agency, the NGA
* Offers more disclosures: the U.S. government is not torturing detainees
* Reveals the FBI estimate that 10 percent of U.S. mosques and their imams preach jihad
* Shows how the intelligence community has radically changed its mission — and how the media have misled the public about those changes

“The Terrorist Watch” is a myth-shattering books that exposes the claims that President Bush has been an ineffectual leader in the war on terror. In fact, Kessler argues that Bush has been the “CEO” of America’s terror war, actively overseeing the desperate race to stop the next big one.

Former FBI Director William Webster says Kessler “destroys myths about the war on terror” while his book takes the first “unprecedented inside look” into how the war on terror has really been waged.
