| Summary: | Born here, raised here, the terrorists of al Qaeda 2.0 aim to kill Americans--and our government helps. A radicalized army major guns down 45, killing 13, a legal immigrant tries to blow up Times Square and a radical Muslim born in New Mexico has a legion of fanatics in his web. This book reveals how that blood-crazed American, Anwar al-Awlaki, now hiding in Yemen, was treated to Pentagon pomp as a "moderate Muslim," and how our Justice Department hid his movements from the 9/11 Commission--even though al-Awlaki aided the hijackers. The terrorists next door turn our tech against us, exploiting Facebook, Skype and outdated laws. Online terror recruiters are one of the Web's greatest success stories, yet our government refuses to stop them. Activists howl about "inhuman" conditions at Guantánamo, while pampered inmates laugh at our weaknesses. Washington shuts its eyes, and the next massacre in the name of Islam will be "made in the U.S.A." |
