Our good friends over at History Publishing Company are about to release a new book Homeland Insecurity, and it’s a cracker! I know because I have read a pre-release version. Who is is your favorite Power Addict in Washington DC?
Homeland Insecurity selects 12 Power Addicts and explains their ‘crimes’. But who are these magic twelve? And what are their crimes? Well to answer it fully you will have to wait until September 25th, but, there is a way that you can be among the very first people to read this book that pulls off the wraps of the dirty games that politicians play.
Author Terry Turchie is an ex FBI guy, in fact he was somewhat of a wheel in the organization, he was the lead investigator on the Unabomber hunt, and the man that brought Ted Kaczynski to trial. Terry pulls no punches. While the thrust of the book is about how the politicians post 9/11 have made the US more insecure, don’t be fooled, they were at it long before Al Qaeda became a household name.
If you are a political junkie, and want to see if you can get your own ‘hot off the press’ copy of Homeland Insecurity head on over to www.DCpoweraddicts.com and see if you can identify this weeks Power Addict. Each week leading up to the release date History Publishing will be giving away a first edition copy.
I’ll even give a hint, well I do want to see a Blogger News reader win. The person involved is not part of the Kennedy clan, so that should narrow the culprits down considerably

Bush’s overkill going to war with Iraq was due to ambivalent reports and the knowledge that France was being bribed by oil for food money to remove the sanctions, something that could lead to WMD or another Iran war. It was not done because Bush was evil, but to make America safer.
Ditto for Homeland security. Yes, the TSA guards laugh when they search my husband after his rosary sets off the metal detector, but it is due to such searches that even more complicated ways of trying to place explosives on planes (eg shoe bombs, using peroxide to make a bomb in the toilet) are being tried.
Finally, one can even argue for torture and Gitmo.
About one third of those released from Gitmo have gone back to terrorism…and as for torture, it was torture that allowed the Philippine police to find out the plot to kill the Pope in the 1990′s and the plan of Alqaeda to bomb several airplanes or as an alternative to fly planes into buildings.
The fact that the CIA and the FBI failed to take the plot uncovered by Philippine security seriously may be another reason that Bush didn’t believe their benign interpretation of Iraq’s WMD….
Perhaps because I have lived in countries with civil war and terrorism that I take these things seriously.
There are bad guys out there, and dissing the good guys, even if they are hapless “keystone cops” at times, is not a game that I chose to play.
