White House speechwriter Marc Thiessen was locked in a
secure room and given access to the most sensitive
intelligence when he was tasked to write President George W.
Bush’s 2006 speech explaining the CIA’s interrogation
program and why Congress should authorize it. Few know more
about these CIA operations than Thiessen, and in his new
book, Courting Disaster, he documents just how effective the
CIA’s interrogations were in foiling attacks on America,
penetrating al-Qaeda’s high command, and providing our
military with actionable intelligence. Thiessen also shows
how reckless President Obama has been in shutting down the
CIA’s program and releasing secret documents that have aided
our enemies. Courting Disaster proves:How the CIA program
thwarted specific deadly attacks against the U.S.Why
“enhanced interrogation” was not torture by any reasonable
legal or moral standardHow the information gained by
“enhanced interrogation” could not have been acquired any
other wayHow President Obama’s actions since taking office
have left America much more vulnerable to attackIn chilling
detail, Thiessen reveals how close the terrorists came to
striking again, how intelligence gained from “enhanced
interrogation” repeatedly stymied their plots, and how
President Obama’s dismantling of this CIA program is
inviting disaster for America.
