Book Description
In a safe house near the Syrian border, a clandestine American operations team readies to launch a dramatic mission months in the making. Their target: the director of social media for ISIS, Abu Muslim al-Naser. Multiple analysts, as well as a senior congresswoman, are in country to monitor the raid, but before the team can launch, the safe house is attacked. What unfolds in the bloody aftermath is a political and public relations nightmare. As horrific videos of the Americans are published on the Internet, the blame-storming back in Washington goes into full swing, focusing on how the intel for the raid was developed and how it might have leaked. As the search for answers mounts, half spy, half covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath quickly finds himself at the center of the storm. Working for a private intelligence agency contracted by both the CIA and the DoD, it was Harvath who pinpointed al-Naser. But how could ISIS have known the Americans were coming, much less where they would be staging? There has to be more to it; something everyone - especially the politicians - is missing.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO: (1) updated a 1986 report by identifying former high-level federal officials that represent foreign interests before the U.S. government; and (2) determined the status of Department of Justice (DOJ) actions to correct previously identified problems concerning the administration of foreign agent registration. GAO found that: (1) 82 former high-level officials that left the U.S. government between fiscal years 1986 and 1991 represent foreign interests before the U.S. government, but it did not determine if conflict-of-interest laws were violated; and (2) DOJ has taken actions to address previous GAO recommendations concerning seeking legislative authority to enforce compliance, improving reporting requirements to agents, conducting surveys of user concerns, and inspecting the activities of certain types of agents.
