Ken Timmerman’s “Honour Killings”
A month ago, when I was in Washington, I went to dinner with a number of friends and Ken Timmerman.
Ken is a well known Journalist specializing on the Middle East and I often post his articles which are well researched. He told us about his soon to been published novel, Honour Killings
A sizzling thriller about the next battlefront in the war on terror from New York Times best-selling
Honor Killing will sweep away many misconceptions Americans have been lead to believe about our security, and about our enemies.
Is there really a spy for the terrorists who has access to the highest reaches of the United States government, including the White House?
Have our intelligence agencies become so bureaucratic and corrupt they can no longer act when a clear and present danger appears?
Is Iran’s master-terrorist at work today, probing our weaknesses?
Is the American Muslim community giving shelter to deadly enemies?
Although the book is a novel, Ken said it hinted at many truths which he couldn’t write as such.
Also coming soon….Shadow Warriors:Traitors, Saboteurs, and the Party of Surrender. It is non-fiction about the role of the CIA and the Democratic Party and in sabotaging US plans in Iraq.
I’m a little confused. Usually, honour killings refer to intrafamilial murders in an attempt to restore family honour. But it seems Ken Timmerman isn’t writing about that, rather is using the phrase in a new way. Is that correct?

The answer to the questions that Mr. Timmerman proposes is no doubt yes. The novel looks like it will be an interesting read, however, I really don’t need a novel to tell me this. In spite of all of this, there are clearly some people within the government who are doing some fine work. There have been no successful major terrorist attacks on the American homeland since the attacks of 911. Given the determination and the abilities of this enemy this is a remarkable accomplishment. Unfortunately the very real existential threat posed by Islamic terrorists may have caused the US and the West to lose sight of the even bigger threats posed by Russia and China. Ideally strategies would be formulated to deal with all of these threats. For example, the strategies to counter Russia, China, and Islamic terroist supporting states will probably be different but all of these existential threats need to be countered
