This is no theory, says Congressman Curt Weldon, in his shocking new book Countdown to Terror. It is a fact as real as the arrest of Muslim terrorists who planned to crash a plane into the Seabrook nuclear power plant in Massachusetts in 2003. What's even more stunning, Congressman Weldon tried to warn American intelligence about the attack-but no one in America's intelligence community would listen. How did Congressman Weldon know about it? Because of a secret source, an intelligence contact code-named Ali who has been a treasure trove of reliable intelligence-intelligence that, despite Congressman Weldon's strenuous efforts, has been routinely ignored by the CIA and the rest of America's intelligence services. But in Countdown to Terror, Congressman Weldon lets you know what the CIA doesn't want to know. You'll learn, straight from Ali's actual reports: Why Iran will decide the next terror strike on America, How a major planned terror strike was called off because the terrorists thought it would help President Bush politically, Why Iran, not al Qaeda, is the command post of radical Islamic terror, Who is really undercutting American efforts to create a peaceful, stable Iraq, Why Iran is like the Soviet Union in the 1980s: extremely dangerous, the iron glove behind all our enemies, yet on the verge of internal collapse, The Iranian nuclear program: red-hot and more advanced than you think.
