Joel Mowbray, an award-winning investigative journalist and nationally syndicated columnist, who has become a leading expert on Iran, Iraq and North Korea, Saudia Arabia and Israel, will give his take on the direction U.S. policy should take toward Israel.
The author of "Dangerous Diplomacy; How the State Department Threatens America's Security,'' Mr. Mowbray is best known for his expose of the State Department's Visa Express program, which has been described as "an open-door policy for terrorists.'' His reporting led to an end to the program, which effectively allowed travel agencies in Saudi Arabia to hand out visas.
More recently, he uncovered the fact that the Bureau of Prisons was allowing Islamic terrorists in federal prison to communicate with the outside world alhthough the agency did not have a single full-time Arabic translator to monitor the calls and letters from more than 100 terrorists.
