Barrack Obama - The Jihad Candidate
I received an email this morning from a friend. He says he received it from his brother-in-law. The writer of the article is Rich Carroll. I do not know who Rich Carroll is. He obivously links Barack Obama to the Muslim Brotherhood. After I read the article in the email I decided to see if there could be any basis in reality to what Rich is saying. I typed the name Mohamed Akram and Muslim Brotherhood, into Google to see what would come up. Below are three links that came up. If any of you know any more about the Muslim Brotherhood I would like to hear from you. I recommend that you read the article by Rich Carroll (Click on the Rich Carroll link) before you read the links below. Then the links will make more sense to you.

Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent
Those of you interested in global politics will enjoy this latest report from Stratfor. This time it is the first chapter of a book named, Ghost: Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent, by Fred Burton.
Burton is vice president for counterterrorism and corporate security at Stratfor. But it is his former life that he writes about. He is the former deputy chief of the Diplomatic Security Service, the Department of State’s counterterrorism division. The Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), is the arm of the State Department that protects U.S. embassy officials across the globe.
From the book’s cover:
Burton, a member of DSS’s tiny but elite Counterterrorism Division, was plunged into a murky world of violent religious extremism spanning the streets of Middle Eastern cities and the informant-filled alleys of American slums. From battling Libyan terrorists and their Palestinian surrogates to facing down hijackers, hostages, and Hezbollah double agents, Burton found himself on the front lines of America’s first campaign against Terror.
In this globe-trotting account of one counterterrorism agent’s life and career, Burton takes us behind the scenes to reveal how the United States tracked Libya-linked master terrorist Abu Nidal; captured Ramzi Yusef, architect of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; and pursued the assassins of major figures including Yitzhak Rabin, Meir Kahane, and General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, the president of Pakistan-classic cases that have sobering new meaning in the treacherous years since 9/11. Here, too, is Burton’s advice on personal safety for today’s most powerful CEOs, gleaned from his experience at Stratfor, the private firm Barron’s calls “the shadow CIA.”
Told in a no-holds-barred, gripping, nuanced style that illuminates a complex and driven man, Ghost is both a riveting read and an illuminating look into the shadows of the most important struggle of our time. Burton’s work at Stratfor continues to illuminate the threats posed by international terrorists and tells us what we can do to minimize risks.
