Notra, according to Encounter Books' advert in the little flyer they send out with book orders, they claim that Encounter is W's favorite publisher. I know this flies somewhat in the face of overt public behavior by POTUS, but you never know! Influence can have miraculous impacts at times! ;)

Notra, a concern. I saw something a last winter about a Pakistani national being arrested at LLL. Not sure whatever became of it. Round about 9/12 it was "decided" that we would be buddy - buddy with Islamabad because we felt it would be critical to have access to a border nation to Afghanistan. (As it turned out, Pakistan were of little acutual utility to our ops and India could have served just fine - in fact they wanted to but we snubbed them.). I really wonder about ongoing nuclear espionage by the ISI.

So which show will you do first, "Fox & Friends" or Katie?

[Doctor Raoul]

Years ago, Notra was outed by the ace investigative reporters at The Washington Post for posting at Free Republic.

That's threat to national security (theirs).

[kristinn]

I'm wondering if Steffi will allow him on ABC's This Week.

[kristinn]

(I) hope Notra sells enough books to pay some bills.

I hope so too. But then the Clintonista jackals will say he was in it for a book deal all along.....sigh.

[kristinn]

Thought you might find this of interest.

This book should be a blockbuster. Can't wait to see him on the book tour/tv/etc. I would love to shake this mans hand and say thank you.

[Fred Mertz]

Note, thanks for the announcement. I hope your book does extremely well.

The "plan" is to start promoting the book in early Jan. I doubt that Katie would want me on the Today show, if that's the Katie you are talking about. Recall they had WH Lee on crying real tears. Hard to top that, huh?

From the Prologue:

"Certainly their job became easier as Clinton appointees opened up our nuclear weapons laboratories to scientists from our former Cold War opponents and emphasized "international scientific collaboration," whose major achievement was to expose our scientists to foreign intelligence collectors. As a result, our national nuclear labs were suddenly flooded with visitors from China, Russia, India, even Iran and Iraq—many of them staying on for two years or more."

-------------------------------------------------

I ordered my copy today and look forward to reading the book, but I couldn't wait to ask if Iraqi scientists were permitted access to national labs working on nuclear weapons technology in the 90's?

At the time, UN resolutions prohibited Iraq from acquiring nuclear weapons. If this did happen, what possible justification was provided for allowing Iraqi scientists access to our labs working on nuclear weapons technology?

U.S. MISSILES HIT IRAQI NUCLEAR PLANT (01/19/93)

U.S. MISSILES HIT IRAQI NUCLEAR PLANT
(Official says Iraq must obey U.N. mandate) (770)

By Alexander M. Sullivan
USIA White House Correspondent

Washington -- Conventionally armed Cruise missiles attacked an Iraqi nuclear weapons plant January 17 as part of a continuing United Nations effort to gain unfettered access to Iraq's arsenal.

White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater said an unspecified number of U.S. Navy Tomahawk missiles struck a fabricating plant used to make "components for Iraq's nuclear enrichment program, including parts for its electro-magnetic isotope separators." He said Iraq had used the parts "in 1ts program to create nuclear weapons." No damage assessment was available.

"This strike," Fitzwater said, "was designed to help achieve the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 687, 707 and 715; namely to assure that Iraq never again acquires weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical and biological, as well as ballistic missiles."

The answer is yes, Iraqis did come into the labs, although under the guise of International Atomic Energy Agency inspection training. I discuss the long-standing relationship and risks to us between the IAEA and the labs in the book. Tks for asking.

[Senator Pardek]

Thanks for the ping. A bmp.

All you have to do is appear to Kupie's sense of journalistic intergrity. Her sense of fairness. Why wouldn't NBC put her on?

His screen name, "ntrulock" made it difficult for them to ID him but that didn't stop the children of Woodstein from getting their man.

lol ...

Great news, ntrulock!
Just out of curiosity ... how did it fare coming through the censors?

(Thanks for the flag, Fred.)
