Terry Turchie and Dr. Kathleen Puckett give the reader a first-hand look at how over thirty years of reckless actions by both Republicans and Democrats in the service of their own political ambitions and addiction to power have crippled the ability of the FBI to protect national security under the law.  In detailing the disastrous effects of “politics as usual” on the safety of the United States, they indict politicians from every level of government, by name.  From Watergate to the current War on Terror, they present a clear case that the alleged ineptitude politicians have continually ascribed to the FBI is the direct result of their own agendas to promote their careers and advance their own political power. 

Turchie, after an outstanding career with the FBI, is now retired from the Agency and is affiliated with the University of California at Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Puckett, after 23 years with the FBI, is affiliated with the University of California at San Francisco.

Homeland Insecurity will be in bookstores in September, 2008.
