This weekend, an event Sponsored by America’s Truth Forum (americastruthforum.com) and the Basics Project (basicsproject.org), held a symposium called “Exposing the Threat of Islamist Terrorism”. Twelve of the pre-eminent experts in counter-terrorism intelligence gathered to speak about the greatest threat facing the West today.
The Emcees were radio show hosts Mike Gallagher and Rodger Hedgecock and the speakers included:

• Frank Gaffney
• Robert Spencer
• Dr. Wafa Sultan
• Caroline Glick
• Lee Boyland
• Joe Kaufman
• Dr. Harvey Kushner
• Laura Mansfield
• Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy
• David Schippers
• Dr. Paul Williams
• Dr. Bruce Tefft

**Shocking information follows**

Hopefully more coverage will come out of this event, but one startling piece I found was by Roger Hedgecock when he had a chance to interview several of the speakers during the event.

Among the speakers I interviewed was David Schippers, a Chicago labor lawyer and Democrat who was chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the Clinton impeachment.

I asked him about his investigation of the Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City. He concluded that a Republican Guard officer from Saddam’s army was in the Ryder truck with Timothy McVeigh, and that Nichols was the mastermind behind the bomb, receiving his bomb making training in the Philippines under abu Saif, an al Qaeda affiliate.

He told me that the Oklahoma City bombing was an attack by Radical Islam on the United States and proof of an alliance between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. Mr. Schippers described President Clinton’s attempt to blame talk radio and right wing “nuts” for the attack as contrary to the affadavits of 22 eye witnesses.

I also interviewed Dr. Wafta Sultan, a Syrian born Muslim woman now practicing psychiatry in Los Angeles.

She called her journey away from Islam a “choice for freedom” after personally witnessing the brutality of muslim jihadists. She cited the Koran on the role of women, challenging Islamic rules that result in “honor killings” and female mutilation. Dr. Sultan has spoken out on Al Jazeera and other Arabic media against these brutal Islamic practices, acknowledging that death threats are “constant” but she is unafraid.

I also interviewed Dr. Bruce Tefft, who served in the CIA for 21 years, including 17 years abroad, many as CIA Station Chief, and was a founding member of the CIA’s Counter Terrorism Center in 1985.

I asked Dr. Tefft what really happened to TWA flight 800 which went down in the Atlantic soon after take off from New York. He said that the plane was downed by a rocket and that, in his opinion, it was an attack by Iran on the United States that was covered up.

He also said that the Islamic jihadists had shifted tactics–a direct attack like 9/11 might still happen, but that it ran the risk of uniting Americans to fight back as the U.S. did in Afghanistan and Iraq. The preferred tactic now was infiltration–of the Pentagon, of the prisons, and of the schools, for example.

I also interviewed Lee Boyland, a nuclear engineer and former member of the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA)’s Nuclear Emergency Team.

Mr Boyland described easy to obtain nuclear technology and further described a nuclear explosion’s horrific impact on an American City. In his view, the likelihood of a an Islamic nuclear device being detonated in America in the next 10 years “is 90%”.
