"Many times, when undercover in a mosque, or, far worse, while being followed and taped by government agents, a thought has troubled me: Why can't I lead a normal life? Why can't I sit lazily in a cafe like other people, go to the gym, enjoy the things others enjoy? Why do I need these repeated aggravations? Why do I subject myself to learning about outrage after outrage, whether it comes in the form of statements by Muslim leaders, or in the U.S. government's bungling of terrorism investigations? "Because I feel that I have to. We are at war, whether we want it or not." " -- from the rear outer jacket. "The remarkable memoir of an Iraqi woman who escaped from captivity in Baghdad and became America's leading undercover counter-terrorist expert. Here is the story of an anonymous counter-terrorism expert, a young woman, who, in disguise, has penetrated front groups of anti-American terrorist organizations operating in this country. In this edge-of-the-seat memoir, she chronicles her escape from Iraq via Iran to Israel, following a great tragedy that befell her family at the hands of Saddam Hussein. She also details how she became involved in intelligence gathering for the United States, her adoptive country, while working for an anti-terrorism group. With her unique insights into how terrorist groups veil their true operations by various means, she was able to infiltrate and identify dangerous terrorist organizations and entities working undetected in the United States. Terrorist Hunter provides fascinating and shocking information on how federal agencies, chiefly the FBI and the State Department, repeatedly ignored or mishandled important information she provided. She reveals her role in exposing terrorist supporters who the White House considered to be friends, in preventing the government from funding terrorist activites, and in the deportation of terrorists and their supporters. She also reveals how she discovered a billion-dollar scheme that rich Saudi Arabians set up to filter money to al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, through charities and businesses in the United States -- information that the FBI sat on for years, until after 9-11." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
