Treachery by Bill Gertz

Treachery by Bill Gertz Drudge Report has a story "NUKE RACE: NEW BOOK DETAILS IRAN BUILDUP" about the book Treachery by Bill Gertz. From the Inside Flap In his explosive new book, New York Times bestselling author Bill Gertz uncovers the most significant threat to U.S. national security today: America’s enemies—including radical terrorist groups—are arming themselves with the world’s most dangerous weapons. And they’re doing it with the help of America’s supposed allies. Worst of all, the U.S. has let it all happen. Using his unparalleled access to the U.S. intelligence and defense communities, Gertz names names, revealing which of our "friends" have placed greed over principle to make America’s enemies far more deadly and the world a far more dangerous place. In Treachery, Gertz tells the whole story, complete with previously unpublished classified intelligence documents, and based on dozens of exclusive interviews with senior U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. In shocking detail, Treachery exposes: •How Iraqi insurgents are killing U.S. soldiers with weapons that France, Germany, and Russia sold them •How the French and German governments turn a blind eye to arms sales to rogue regimes and terrorist states like Iran, Syria, and North Korea •How intelligence reports show that China supplied arms to al Qaeda after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America •The real story of why Libya dismantled its nuclear program—how U.S. intelligence caught the Libyans red-handed trying to smuggle in nuclear weapons technology •How Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation network is even more extensive than has been reported •The CIA report revealing that al Qaeda is pursuing—and may already have—nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons •The classified intelligence showing that Russia and France were cooperating with Saddam Hussein even after the 2003 Iraq war broke out •The full story of how Saddam exploited the United Nations "oil for food" program, not only to line his own pockets but also to rebuild Iraq’s weapons and missile programs •How U.S. security lapses have enabled our enemies to target Americans using our own weapons technology secrets Only Bill Gertz has the contacts and the knowledge to tell the complete story of how France, Germany, Russia, China, and other countries have armed our enemies to the teeth. Treachery is also the definitive account of what the U.S. government is doing to counter the threat—and of how our leaders have too often failed us. "Gertz is legendary among national security reporters for the quality of his sources...He is the envy of his competitors."—Washington Monthly "Treachery, with its reams of classified and other inside information, reveals how our nation’s enemies obtain weapons from China, Russia, France, Germany, and other supposed friends. The book is must-reading if you want to know the confidential story of the growing danger of global arms proliferation."—Rowan Scarborough, Pentagon reporter, Washington Times, and bestselling author of Rumsfeld’s War "Two big factors will determine America’s national security over the next twenty years. The first is the capability of our military systems as determined by the health of our defense industrial base. And, second, the extent to which our adversaries are able to buy or steal advanced military technology from the U.S. and our allies. Bill Gertz focuses superbly on the hemorrhaging of critical military technology to our enemies. Treachery should be read by all our policymakers."—Congressman Duncan Hunter of California, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee "Bill Gertz has written a bone-chilling exposé about what has been done behind our backs. Can we ever be safe? You must read this."—Greta Van Susteren, host of Fox News’s On the Record with Greta Van Susteren "Bill Gertz gets it! Treachery brilliantly exposes our allies who have become our enemies in the War on Terror just because the U.N., France, Germany, and Russia looked at Iraq and other rogue states as trading partners rather than enablers of terrorism. This is a major piece of work in the War on Terror."—Lt. Gen. Thomas G. McInerney, USAF (Ret.), bestselling author of Endgame "[Gertz] has access to more intelligence information than anyone I know."—Former Defense Secretary William S. Cohen "The hottest reporter in town...He breaks dozens of big stories every year, and he’s read carefully by people who follow national security issues."—Washington Post "Bill Gertz remains a national asset."—Weekly Standard Update (9/8 9:36PM): Audio of Rush talking about Treachery by Bill Gertz.
