In this explosive, controversial, and profoundly alarming insider's report, U.S. Senator Bob Graham reveals faults in America's national security network severe enough to raise fundamental questions about the competence and honesty of public officials in the CIA, the FBI, and the White House. For ten years, Senator Graham served on the Senate Intelligence Committee, where he had access to some of the nation's most closely guarded secrets. Following 9/11, Graham co-chaired a historic joint House-Senate inquiry into the intelligence community's failures. From that investigation and his own personal fact-finding, Graham discovered disturbing evidence of terrorist activity and a web of complicity. As a result of his Senate work, Graham has become convinced that the attacks of September 11th could have been avoided, and that the Bush administration's war on terrorism has failed to address the immediate danger posed by Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia. INTELLIGENCE MATTERS offers damning and disturbing proof that at the highest levels of national security, now, more than ever, intelligence matters.
