The Washing
Machine: How Money Laundering and
Terrorist Financing Soils
Us
by Nick
Kochan
"The last time I was involved in money
laundering was when I forgot I had left a
couple of dollars in the pocket of my
pants and put them into the washing
machine, only to realize when I
transferred the pants to the dryer that I
had, in fact, laundered some money. Other
than that encounter, I had no knowledge
whatsoever about, nor experience with,
what is now referred to as "professional"
and "criminal" money laundering. Of
course, my activity was neither
professional nor criminal. But, after
reading Nick Kochan's book, The Washing
Machine, I now know a lot about a
particular nefarious enterprise which is
both professional and criminal. And,
unfortunately, a continually growing
threat to world peace and
security."

How to win the war on terror: a
blueprint. Tom McInerney and Paul Vallely
are retired generals (Air Force and the
Army). They've devoted their lives to
defending America. Now they're military
analysts for FOX News, privy to
up-to-the-minute reports and inside
sources. They know everything that's going
on within the Pentagon, the CIA, and other
government agencies. They're also smart.
When other analysts were wringing their
hands and whining about "quagmires" in
Afghanistan...
Graham Allison is one of America's
leading experts on nuclear weapons and
national security. He has served in the
Department of Defense as assistant
secretary of defense for policy and plans,
is the director of the Belfer Center for
Science and International Affairs, and a
professor at the John F. Kennedy School of
Government at Harvard University. In other
words, when this man speaks and writes on
an issue where he has the expertise, it is
prudent, very prudent, to pay attention to
what he has to say. And he has a lot to
say in his new book entitled "Nuclear
Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable
Catastrophe."

James Carroll is a best-selling author
of both fiction and nonfiction books and a
winner of the National Book Award. The son
of an Air Force general with whom he had
his own political disagreements, Carroll
was ordained in the Catholic Church as a
member of the Paulist order, a community
of priests known for their public
communication skills and media savvy, and
became active in the antiwar movement.
Eventually leaving the priesthood to
become a full-time writer, he also
lectures widely on the issues of war and
peace and on religious topics, especially
those involving Christian, Jewish, and
Islamic relations. I mention these few
important points about his background
merely to show that the author of this
critique of President Bush's current
foreign policy is no lightweight and
Carroll cannot easily be dismissed by
those who may disagree with his analyses
and interpretations.

Nearly three thousand people died in
the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001. In Lower Manhattan, on a field in
Pennsylvania, and along the banks of the
Potomoc, the United States suffered the
single largest loss of life from an enemy
attack on its soil. In November 2002 the
United States Congress and President
George W. Bush established by law the
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks
Upon the United States, also known as the
9/11 Commission. This independent,
bipartisan panel was directed to examine
the facts and circumstances surrounding
the September 11 attacks, identify lessons
learned, and provide recommendations to
safeguard against future acts of
terrorism. This volume is the authorized
edition of the Commission's final
report.

Intelligence Failures Led to September
