Welcome to the International Intelligence Summit, a non-partisan, non-profit, neutral forum that uses private charitable funds to bring together for the first time the intelligence agencies of the free world and the emerging democracies.
The purpose of the Summit is to provide an opportunity for the International Intelligence community to listen to and learn from each other, and to share ideas in the common war against terrorism.
The Summit's International Advisory Council includes Generals, former senior FBI official, former senior Mossad officer, and the former Chair of British Joint Intelligence Committee.
The list of presenters at the Summit will include many of the top leaders of the intelligence, espionage, counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence agencies from around the free world.

journalist and director of the Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare of the U.S. Congress.

LACKING VERIFICATION METHODS, August 3, 2004
Reviewer: M. Parke "parkay" (Florida Keys) - See all my reviews

If the story told here could be verified, then it would validate the methods behind our war on terror...yes, even the invasion of Iraq. While Mr. Bodansky, apparently a well-knowned counter-terrorism "expert", writes with thematic clarity, he fails in a major regard to verification. Although the book has a list of sources in the back, they are not cross-referenced to any of the material in the book. This leaves the reader with several choices. 1. Accept his premise entirely, 2. Accept parts of his premise (which parts are fact, which parts are fiction?), or 3. reject his premise entirely. What a conundrum. I can reject item 3 because I would have had to have been living on the moon for the last 20 years to escape the wealth of information negating that premise. I cannot accept premise 1 either due to the lack of a well thought out set of footnotes and references that could be checked for veracity. That leaves item 2 as the only choice available...hmmm...what to believe and what not to believe. Like I said, a conundrum.
In the age of everyone writes a book and the "drive-by" work of literature, I hope that these authors will soon learn that some of us would like a detailed reference list so we can verify what is truth and what is only truth in their own reality.

9. Didnt they find a video or whatever of Saddam

spouting off about terror and WMDs?

I believe this is their big new proof. Really sad.

They didnt believe a word he ever said but when they saw this , they jumped all opver it like it was the Holy Grail.

12. I think I found something...

He's padding his title or something. And I can't find any government site with his name on it dated after 1994. :shrug: I'm still looking.

11. but this guy was an insptector back in the 90s

are they trying to use info from the 90s to justify what they did in 03? I don't get it. This guy is confusing me. Maybe that's the point? He makes a point about Sadaam's tapes having lots of "Allah willing"s on the part of his underlings talking to him...geesh.

On Terrorist Attacks on US
On November 29, 2004, the Jerusalem Post reported that Bodansky said that "'the primary option' for the next al-Qaida attack on US soil would be one that would use weapons of mass destruction.

"'I do not have a crystal ball, but this is what all the available evidence tells us, we will have a bang," Bodansky said.
"He said that al-Qaida has not carried out a second major attack on the US until now for internal psychological and ideological reasons, but after the reelection of President George W. Bush, it has gotten 'the green light' to do so from leading Islamic religious luminaries, as well as from 'the elites of the Arab world.'" <6> (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1101615867007)
