His press release says:

Timmerman, who has covered the Middle East, terrorism, and weapons proliferation for more than two decades, has crisscrossed the globe, providing the definitive and thoroughly documented word on the dangers we face from the Islamic Republic of Iran. To provide the whole story—a story that no other reporter or commentator can piece together—Timmerman reproduces more than forty pages of previously unpublished documents and photographs that lay bare the Iranian threat.

Countdown to Crisis reveals:

The first-ever inside account of Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program—exposing how the mullahs could already have enough nuclear material for 20 to 25 bombs

The secret locations where Iran has been sheltering bin Laden—and the terrorist attacks they now are jointly planning against America and our allies

Anbody know anything about this guy.. the agenda seems obvious.. but who's puppet is he? This guy ever been right on anything else?

How U.S. intelligence has consistently ignored warnings about Iran’s secret nuclear program—and how United Nations officials, most notably Hans Blix, blew repeated chances to shut it down
Stunning new evidence of Iran’s involvement in the 9/11 plot—including documents the CIA tried to withhold from the 9/11 Commission

Iranian intelligence operatives trained 9/11 plotters in explosives, document forgery, and secure communications, and also provided passports and safe haven

How an Iranian defector gave the CIA two months’ advance warning of a “massive attack on America” scheduled for September 11, 2001—but how the Agency brushed him off, and then, after 9/11, tried to smear and discredit him

How the CIA knew about Iran’s ties to bin Laden and al-Qaeda long before the September 11 attacks, but failed to act on its own information

An insider’s account of how top Iranian leaders negotiated directly with North Korea’s Supreme Leader to secure nuclear weapons assistance—a story that Timmerman can tell for the first time based on his exclusive access to Iranian intelligence information

How Iran worked on nuclear weapons hand-in-glove with the infamous A. Q. Khan network—with help from Germany, Switzerland, Russia, and China

The blockbuster story of the U.S. congressman who became so frustrated by the CIA’s refusal to act on intelligence that bin Laden was in Iran that he actually contacted a bounty hunter to capture the Saudi

How Iran’s leaders continue to finance the insurgents in Iraq, including the infamous terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi

Dramatic new evidence that Iran may have been behind the downing of TWA Flight 800 in 1996—and that White House counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke steered the intelligence community away from a terrorism investigation of the attack

An eye-opening look at the brutality of an Iranian regime that will stop at nothing to preserve its absolute power

Timmerman provides an exclusive eyewitness account of the Iranian regime’s ruthless murder of a key opponent and an inside account of the mullahs’ crackdown on dissident students

To get the complete story on Iran’s radical Islamic regime, Timmerman traveled around the world, taking the reader into secret terrorist gatherings in Tehran, into tense meetings in the White House, to debriefings at an obscure CIA outpost in Azerbaijan, to diplomatic face-offs in the Kremlin, and too many other spots along the way. His extensive investigative reporting allows him to expose the Iranian threat in a way no other writer has ever done.

Has this guy been right about anything previously?

He's been claiming since 1996 that TWA flight 800 was either shot down by Iranian terrorists with shoulder launched missiles, or brought down by an Iranian bomb.

He also claims Iran was behind the Oklahoma city bombing and has had nukes since the late 90s.

He's a crank.

And they're almost out of oil so they're enriching uranium for um... ah..... electrical power. Yeah, that's it. Electrical power. Weapons-grade electricity gives the brightest, clearest light for reading the Quran in the evening.

Nashwan is correct, Timmerman is way out there; sort of like the Erik Von Daniken of modern foreign affairs commentary.

He's also a card carrying republican, neocon cheerleader-cum-propagandist and failed state senate candidate for Maryland I believe.

Someone cited an unattributed review of his masterpiece "The French Betrayal of America" here a few months ago as evidence of French perfidy over Iraq but the thread was locked before I could reply. :confused:

Erik Von Daniken.

Whatever happened to THAT guy? Had his moment, I guess.

He now runs the "Mystery Park" theme park in Interlaken, Switzerland (I kid you not).
