Bernard, I just finished the book, “Scoundrel” which you wrote in 1992. I was amazed at your prediction of the Terrorists from Iraq attacking the Capital on July 4, 1991 using a dirty nuclear device. The whole book seemed like a plan of action for the US Department of Homeland Security on how to combat terrorism on our shores. Right down to the aggressive interrogation techniques that Anton Scalia was commenting on in Britain just a few days ago. I always thought of you as a historical novelist and not someone who could predict the future. I revise my opinion. Bob Long
