NEW SECOND EDITION. What if the government decided to invent a great lie to justify a disastrous war? What would happen to the people who know the truth?

About the Author

Former Congressional staffer Susan Lindauer covered Iraq and Libya at the United Nations, as a U.S. Intelligence Asset and back door channel on anti-terrorism from 1993 to 2003. Most notoriously, in the summer of 2001, her team warned about a major terrorist attack involving airplane hijackings and a strike on the World Trade Center. Lindauer also campaigned heavily against the War in Iraq, and developed a comprehensive peace framework through her back-channel in the run up to War. This is the story of what happened when Lindauer tried to disclose the true facts of Iraqi Pre-War Intelligence and the 9/11 warning to Congress and the American people. It details the nightmare of her arrest on the Patriot Act and her imprisonment without a trial at the notorious prison inside Carswell Air Force Base in Texas. EXTREME PREJUDICE is a true life spy thriller.

More About the Author

Washington DC

As a U.S. Intelligence Asset, Susan Lindauer covered anti-terrorism at the Iraqi Embassy in New York from 1996 up to the invasion. Independent sources have confirmed that she gave advance warning about the 9/11 attack. She also started talks for the Lockerbie Trial with Libyan diplomats.

Shortly after requesting to testify before Congress about successful elements of Pre-War Intelligence, Lindauer became one of the first non-Arab Americans arrested on the Patriot Act as an "Iraqi Agent." She was accused of warning her second cousin, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card and Secretary of State Colin Powell that War with Iraq would have catastrophic consequences. Gratis of the Patriot Act, her indictment was loaded with "secret charges" and "secret evidence." She was subjected to one year in prison on Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas without a trial or hearing, and threatened with indefinite detention and forcible drugging to shut her up.

After five years of indictment without a conviction or guilty plea, the Justice Department dismissed all charges five days before President Obama's inauguration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes the truth is just too shocking for the masses January 30, 2011

By Michael Herzog

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Being a certified investigator & talk show host, I did my 'homework' on Susan Lindauer as her book 'Extreme Prejudice,' reads more fascinating than any Ian Fleming Novel. My conclusion...
Ms. Lindauer's story is credible, easily verifiable & conveys in explicit detail just how far the 'Powers that Be' will go in perpetrating a lie to achieve their goals. This book blows the doors off any conceived idea that our Politicians are 'For the People.' Definately a MUST READ for anyone that dares step out of the box & wants a good dose of American Political Reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars You must read this book December 20, 2010

By Eric Burt

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

What a powerful book ! Everyone who has believed the "official" story for us going to war against Iraq - must read this book. It's clear after reading Susan's book that the intelligence was not there for an invasion of Iraq. Since 9/11, brave people that told the true facts on Iraq - like Susan Lindauer - were silenced. The Patriot Act was - and still is - being used as a weapon against our citizens to control the narrative on the "War on Terror"... Susan is courageous and a true patriot for publishing this book - her story of abuse by our government needs to be read by the President and every Congressman before the next vote to extend the Patriot Act is taken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning account of the author's story of corruption before, during, and after the Invasion of Iraq, and GW's role! January 4, 2011

Susan Lindauer's Extreme Prejudice

I ordered Susan's book after hearing her interviews on the Oracle Broadcasting Network. She was a guest on Charles Giuliani's show, Truth Hertz. A stunning account on her exploits before, during, and after the Invasion of Iraq, and the corruption in the Bush White House Administration. This book delves into the 9/11 conspiracy, the trumped up Iraq war, and her being imprisoned because she spoke the truth on our corrupt government and their role in this mess. A must read, very compelling! You'll never look at the Iraq War and our government the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars Susan Lindauer: Real American Patriot January 31, 2011

By TheIntelHub

Format:Paperback

After contacting Susan about a possible interview I received her book in the mail. From the moment i started the book i knew it was a true classic that every freedom loving citizen should read. Susan heavily documents the facts regarding pre 9/11 intelligence, the lead up to the Iraq war, and Iraq's willingness to help with the 9/11 investigation.

Instead of letting Susan have her day in court, the feds threw her in a military prison, put out a phony mental evaluation, and silenced her while they told the world that the bad intelligence on Iraq was the fault of unskilled assets. Susan has gone through hell simply because she wanted to stop an unnecessary war that has killed millions. For those that know the real facts of 9/11, Susan provides evidence of hijackings AND controlled demolition.

This is a must read book that is well worth the 12.60.

5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless Content Tediously Presented - Merits a Big House Re-Issue, SEE YOUTUBE! October 15, 2011

By Robert David STEELE Vivas HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Bottom line: there is an enormous amount of priceless information in the book that is the equal of Abu Ghraib but against an American citizen who was by all evidence a source if not an agent for a non-official cover officer of the CIA based in the DC area. From being ignored to being locked up without any due process to being declared mentally incompetent by people lacking all integrity to being held without trial for years, the mind just boggles. What especially troubled me was the degree to which the prisons the author was exposed to used drugs to turn prisoners who refused to confess into drug-stupored vegetables.

I remove one star because this book has not been fully developed and the author as well as all associated with the book have failed to present compelling visualizations, a timeline, snapshot biographies of the key players, etcetera. I strongly believe that this book should be reissued by a major house, with a major foreword, and tied to the Occupy Wall Street concerns about institutionalized corruption.

I RESTORE the star to a full five because the YouTube videos featuring the author are nothing short of sensational. Together with the short film Hypocrisy, this could be the "story" that breaks the back of the Empire. The author is engaging and authentic in her video appearances, I do not believe any American can understand the deep corruption in the US Government without absorbing what she has to share.

The book is TEDIOUS. It is a stream of consciousness account by the author leavened with direct quotations from testimony.... If it were not so tedious it would make my blood boil with outrage, but sadly, for such an important story, what we have here is just over 450 pages of run-on text including appendices with copies of some documents and depositions.

From where I sit as a former spy who has also done counterintelligence, published books on intelligence, and generally been the leading critic of fraud, waste, and abuse in the secret intelligence and counterintelligence worlds, the following stay with me from this book:

1 CIA is using non-official cover officers to run operations within and against the Congress. Congressional staffers are both targets and sources, some may be agents (paid).

2 The author clearly had advance warning of 9/11 and communicated that warning to the intelligence community (I have written elsewhere of how nine nations warned us in advance, the FBI blew off two walk-ins in Orlando and Newark, Dick Cheney scheduled the national counter-terrorism exercise for "the day" three months in advance, etc etc.

3 Where the book excels and is easily a five star book if the publisher had shown more creative commitment, is in documenting the lengths to which the government will go to lie, cheat, and otherwise abuse the Constitution, individual citizens, and the public at large. This book is an indictment of the Department of Justice (which we have recently learned claims the right to lie to the Court when it and it alone thinks it appropriate), the FBI, the CIA, and the White House consider it useful, which turns out to be most of the time.

4 The "wild card" in this story is Andrew Card, then Chief of Staff at the White House, and a direct family relation of the author. The smoking gun in this book is its documented evidence that the White House knew full well that 9/11 was coming, and leveraged that event, overlooking the 3,000 murdered (most of them in my view by controlled demolitions planted by Larry Silverstein in a massive insurance scam that was convenient to both the political government and to Wall Street (destroying all SEC files in WTC 7, never hit by anything).

I am not at all sure why the author did not get murdered while in prison with an overdose of whatever drug of choice they use these days. I have often reflected on the schizophenic nature of some of my colleagues, honorable people who try to do their best, while also playing drone or gerbil to out and out war criminals like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz, to name just three.

I recommend readers buy the book, and also search for various web options including her April 2001 YouTube (1:36:12), and the book's website. My counsel to the author would be to post the book immediately online in full text by the chapter for ease of automated translation by Google Translate. Certainly I would be glad to do that at Phi Beta Iota the Public Intelligence Blog. What this book desperately needs is the application of "cognitive surplus" such that timelines, visualizations, and other value-added sense-making can be integrated. I'd like to see a sharp two page executive summary of findings and implications.

We now know that Obama feared a coup if he prosecuted CIA officials and others including political appointees for their various high crimes and misdemeanors, and while this is understandable, it does not negate the need to return the US Government to the rule of law, a rule that has been so flagrantly violated so many times more under Obama than under Bush. I write this review in the aftermath of the first ever PUBLICIZED murder of a US citizen by drone without due process. We now know that the President (Obama) and the national security apparatchiks (led by Goldman Sachs lobbyist in the role of National Security Advisor) claim the right to kill anyone anywhere, including Americans, if they are deemed to be a threat to national security, where national security is left open-ended and can include any threat to the First Lady's vegetable garden. That pretty much makes all 99% of us a threat.

I salute the author, and the publisher, for getting the book out, and below list some other books that are advancing our understanding of the depraved nature of the US Government as now owned and controlled by Wall Street through the two-party tyranny (there are 65 parties in the USA, only two gets to loot the US Treasury at will, taking 5% political payoffs for taxpayer-funded programs).

Certainly I hope that the author prospers and that over time she and the authors of the books below are recognized as righteous and more in harmony with the Constitution than the executive or legislative branches of the US Government are today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real American Hero March 2, 2011

By Joseph Rizoli

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is an INCREDIBLE story .

To realize that our Government put this HERO in jail is a crime against humanity. To know that the U.S KNEW about 9/11 MONTHS ahead of time and that the MOSSAD may have had some hand in this event or hiding the fact from Americans, would make any person enraged. The senseless war with Iraq, the hundreds of thousands of children killed, the MILLIONS of Iraq citizens killed for a FALSE pretense for America to go to war, should make this book a best seller.

To see the LIES by our own leaders,Collin Powell,The President,and betrayals by Trent Lott and John McCain to put Susan in jail will make you NOT vote for anyone of them soon.

Like Susan says in the book, EVERYTHING you think you know about the war in Iraq is a LIE.

Susan should be in a ticker tape parade down every Main street in America.
