Dangerous Diplomacy by Joel Mowbray Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 0-89526-110-3 Hardcover - 256 pages (October 2003) Whose side are they on? Diplomacy is one thing. But giving aid and comfort to the enemy is quite another. Yet that is exactly what our very own State Department is doing—coddling brutal dictators, covering up gaping holes in our nation’s safety net, and appeasing regimes that actively sponsor terrorists around the world. In this global war on terrorism, the U.S. State Department has proven itself to be one of our biggest obstacles to victory. In Dangerous Diplomacy, investigative reporter Joel Mowbray exposes the hidden agendas, mixed allegiances, and outright anti-Americanism that has infected the U.S. State Department. Relying on exhaustive interviews with State Department personnel and extensive research into State’s publications, procedures, and recent history, Mowbray reveals an astounding pattern of shortsighted and misguided policies, compounded by an ingrained resistance to self-criticism and correction. In Dangerous Diplomacy you’ll learn: How State’s obsession with global “stability” has led it to support bloodthirsty dictators (including many who would rejoice at the demise of the United States) State’s herculean efforts to cover up the lax visa policies that allowed the September 11 hijackers to enter the U.S. legally — while keeping those policies in place as long as possible State’s arms-for-tyrants program — and how it very nearly succeeded in providing Saddam Hussein’s Iraq with nuclear capability The State/Saudi alliance: why State bends over backwards to keep the Saudis happy despite the Kingdom’s clear support for global terrorism How American parents whose children have been kidnapped by foreign nationals have been ignored, deserted, and betrayed by the embassies and officials who are supposed to protect Americans State’s strange and long-standing fondness for brutal, radical Muslim regimes How State’s entrenched culture makes reform of the organization virtually impossible How State concealed information about North Korea’s nuclear program The Iranian democracy movement: Why it soldiers on with no help from the State Department The sorry record of how State not only has declined to discipline incompetent and corrupt immigration officials who let terrorists and other criminals into the U.S., but rewarded them How State has actually fought against families victimized by evil regimes who are trying to recover damages Mowbray documents a State Department in dire need of reform — revealing here for the first time just how far State has strayed from its intended role as the primary agent of U.S. interests abroad.
