Clarke, assesses the nation's successes and failures in fighting terrorism and provides a detailed action plan for neutralizing the international movement at the core of worldwide terrorism. Central to these plans are the group's proposals for significant changes in U.S. policy toward key Muslim countries. The report also describes the nature of the jihadist threat; provides comprehensive profiles of the various groups; and offers a rationale for the effort and money that would be needed to make the plan a success. <P>Key strategies covered in depth include the focus on winning the "Battle of Ideas"; investing in education and development in Islamic nations; implementing tailored strategies for key countries, particularly Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq; defusing sources of Islamic hatred for the United States; improving U.S. intelligence and law enforcement organization; reinvigorating efforts to combat terrorist financing; improving U.S. military organization; and accelerating security investments for ports, trains, and chemical plants. 245702 1 11 2004 Defeating The Jihadists: A Blueprint For Action total:3|5:1|4:1|3:1| 3 12 4 0 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 18:25:21 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 18:25:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jun 03 10:32:38 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 10:32:47 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 06 18:13:41 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 06 18:13:45 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Feb 20 11:16:34 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 20 11:16:34 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=253548
