Blind Terror : What US Intelligence Missed After 9/11

InAmerica in a Time of Terror,Tyler Drumheller offers a concise, credible and well-sourced examination of why the world's richest and most powerful country has such a dysfunctional national security structure. He cuts to the heart of the crucial controversy over how to fix the intelligence community. In its attempt to reform the CIA in the backlash over 9/11, Congress has succeeded only in exacerbating the communication failures and created just another dangerous level of bureaucracy with the same problems. Drumheller maintains that the CIA is no longer the premiere intelligence service. Using his unbeatable contacts in the community, Drumheller recounts anecdotes that shed a chilling light on the challenges ahead as the United States attempts to reposition its intelligence-gathering operations for a post-globalization world and why the same problems that brought about the debacle surrounding 9/11 and the Iraq war remain a threat. Americans will be shocked to discover how blinded their leadership is to the dangers presented by their continuing failure to address key issues. Addressing topics that will become increasingly important as the 2008 Presidential election wears on,America in a Time of Terroris a must-read for political junkies and concerned citizens alike.Drumheller, Tyler is the author of 'Blind Terror : What US Intelligence Missed After 9/11', published 2011 under ISBN 9780786720958 and ISBN 0786720956.
