Book Description
Best-selling author and award-winning investigative reporter Bill Gertz taps his inside sources in the Pentagon and the CIA to track the path of terrorism and terrorists in the United States.

[eureka!]

Gertz is good. This must be the Clinton Legacy book that Rushbo was hinting at when Newsweak ran their hit piece....

[tomahawk]

Gertz rules.

[Peach]

Gertz always tells it like it is, has excellent sources, and is the best read in town.

[PhiKapMom]

If only we had more journalists like Bill Gertz, this Country would be much better off!

Looking forward to reading his new book!

[JohnGalt]

...and the entire trillion dollar intelligence establishment blamed it on minimum wage baggage handlers. Where are the high level resignations? Is there any honor left in government?

[1Old Pro]

After 8 years of Klintoon I'm not at all surprised that he defunded the CIA and tied their hands.

[tomahawk]

Klinton and the affirmative action religion at CIA & FBI led to 9/11.

[lizma]

Gertz is just one of the reasons that the Washington Times is the best newspaper in America.

[eureka!]

Agreed. Big time...

[hchutch]

Very true...

Care to bet Rumsfeld's gonna REALLY be on a leak-hunt?

[Fred Mertz]

WASHINGTON TIMES reporter and bestselling author Bill Gertz is preparing to begin the fight of his life -- when next week he exposes, in unprecedented detail, America's intelligence failures.

Gertz has obtained highly classified documents and dispatchs from within the CIA, the FBI and other national security agencies which detail a stunning failure of intelligence on terrorists

[truthkeeper]

BUMP!

[Leisler]

Were their any at Waco or Ruby Ridge? Nope. Fugehdaboutit.

Drudge has revised his headline to add: AUTHOR'S PATRIOTISM CHALLENGED

[RobFromGa]

The Socialist-Democrat lovers of the disgraced, impeached, serial-rapist, "XXX-42" Bubba J. Klintoon certainly will despise this "whistle-blower" just as they despised Linda Tripp.

I really doubt if there is any classified information here. , The CIA just doesn't like to look stupid, which is understandable.

Only people that truly hate America, like the Socialist-Democrats would leak classified information that compromises National Security. And, if they did leak damaging information, they would consider it their DUTY as patriots. So, it would be OK. But publishing unclassified information which is critical of Lefties is a mortal sin.

Everyone got it?

[JohnGalt]

On the otherhand, if McNulty is right, Vince Foster committed suicide over Waco.

CIA FIGHTS PUBLISHER OVER DOCS; BOOK DETAILS HISTORIC INTELLIGENCE BREAKDOWN; AUTHOR'S PATRIOTISM CHALLENGED

**Exclusive**

WASHINGTON TIMES reporter and bestselling author Bill Gertz is preparing to begin the fight of his life -- when next week he exposes, in unprecedented detail, America's intelligence failures.

MORE

Gertz has obtained highly classified documents and dispatches from within the CIA, the FBI and other national security agencies which detail a stunning collapse of intelligence on terrorists.

The CIA demanded to meet with Gertz's publisher, REGNERY.

The agency pleaded with the publisher not to reprint the leaked documents -- but the context of those docs will remain in the book, , the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Gertz is set to preview his controversial work BREAKDOWN on Sunday during ABC's THIS WEEK.

[The book ranked #1238 on AMAZON's hit parade Friday morning.]

Meanwhile, one senior Bush administration source challenged Gertz's patriotism for making public such sensitive information during wartime.

"Do we really need a book for sale in every store in America that outlines our weaknesses?" asked the administration source, who asked not to be named for this report. "If Mr. Gertz is trying to embarrass the country, I would simply ask, 'What is to gain?' And where is his loyalty?"

For his part, Gertz hopes his outline of dramatic intelligence failures [which cross several administrations] serves as a wake up call to citizens who watched helplessly as their nation was attacked by terrorists last year.

Bureaucrats with politically correct policies have left the United States dangerously exposed, warns Gertz, chapter after chapter after chapter.
