Faddis takes a look at the state of homeland security and attempts to answer the question, “Are we really any safer than we were on 9\/11?”  While not a security expert, Faddis knows more than most about the subject and he does understand terrorism.  He has also run numerous offensive operations in his 20 years with the Agency, so it’s easy for him to stand in the shoes of a terrorist and appraise targets.  To date, he has taken a look at military installations, passenger rail, freight rail, chemical plants, LNG facilities, and water treatment plants.  He’s just started to look at dams, and next up will be nuclear power plants.  He went into this project very skeptical of what he would find.  Several months later, he is terrified. The picture is not pretty.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49617302454545,"sku":"CIN1599219069G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50164811858193,"sku":"CIN1599219069VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52820823081233,"sku":"NLS9781599219066","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1599219069.jpg?v=1757153723"},{"product_id":"beyond-repair-book-charles-faddis-9781599218519","title":"Beyond Repair","description":"From the author's Introduction:   Let me start by saying what this book is not.It is not an attack on the men and women of the Clandestine Service of the Central Intelligence Agency, the overwhelming majority of whom are dedicated, patriotic Americans working hard everyday on behalf of their fellow citizens.  God knows that they do not do it for the money nor do they do it for the recognition.  They do it because they believe in the work, and because they know, as I do, that there really are monsters in the world, and someone has to protect us from them.It is also not an argument against the existence of a central human intelligence collection organization within the United States Government.
