For two decades, the army trained special agents in remote viewing. In 1995, during the Clinton Administration, Stargate was shut down. Now, 20 years later, a new story emerges. Meet Sergeant Major Seth Phoenix. He's spent his entire life guarding a secret, but when a terrorist attack at Fort Bragg threatens the lives of himself and two of his closest friends, he risks it all and uses his supernatural powers of telekinesis.

Revolutionary War officer Nathan Hale, one of America's first spies, said, "Any kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." A statue of Hale stands outside CIA headquarters, and the agency often cites his statement as one of its guiding principles. But who decides what is necessary for the public good, and is it really true that any kind of service is permissible for the public good? These questions are at the heart of James M. Olson's book, Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying.

Sergeant Major Seth Phoenix's story continues in The Phoenix Codes as he battles the CIA and the US government's plans to duplicate his DNA codes for future use in the human clone research programs already being explored in Russia. When he meets Russian Agent Nikita Oleshun for the second time during a rescue mission in Srebrenica, Bosnia, Phoenix realizes that the would-be enemy is actually an ally and attempting to defect from Russia. Phoenix races against time and certain death as he fights to protect his supernatural match.

The CIA is looking for walking contradictions. Recruiters seek people who can keep a secret, yet pull classified information out of others; who love their country, but are willing to leave it behind to head into dangerous places; who live double lives, but can be trusted with some of the nation's most sensitive tasks. Michele Rigby Assad was one of those people. As a CIA agent, Michele soon found that working undercover was an all-encompassing job. The threats were real. The mission was a perilous one. Trained as a counterterrorism expert, Michele spent over a decade in the agency.

If we are to correctly assess the root causes of terrorism and successfully address the threat, we must think more like economists do. This is the argument of Alan Krueger's What Makes a Terrorist, a book that explains why our tactics in the fight against terrorism must be based on more than anecdote, intuition, and speculation. Many popular ideas about terrorists and why they seek to harm us are fueled by falsehoods, misinformation, and fearmongering. Many believe that poverty and lack of education breed terrorism, despite the wealth of evidence showing that most terrorists come from middle-class, and often college-educated, backgrounds.

Das Terrorregime des sogenannten Islamischen Staates hat eine neue Dimension an Grausamkeit und Entmenschlichung erreicht.
