Those crafty Brits. Did the Black Arts prevent them from writing it down or are they actually loyal to a stupid, insane blood line?

I read the book a few years ago. It made me furious. In fact, I couldn't stop talking about it to anyone that would listen (my poor sainted husband took the worst of my rants)I didn't know that was why her name was revealed. She has some kind of guts though so, while I am very sorry she was revealed, if anyone can take it she can. I wish everyone that serves to unveil this type of information the best and thank them for educating me. “The writer of TERRORIST HUNTER, Irene Katz, had her identity revealed because of a similar law suit (she wrote it under “anonymous”)and now she is a target.”

It's basically THE book on Hamas. Not easy or light reading. It's a quasi-academic study of Hamas and its network of institutions. The author demolishes any idea that there is a 'military wing' and a 'charitable wing'. He shows Hamas to be a vast, highly interconnected web of social, religious and paramilitary institutions, each supporting and reinforcing the others. Any dollars raised by one of the many Hamas charities, the author shows, in effect releases a dollar for terror attacks. It's out in paperback now. It’s an important and very thorough volume.

The writer of TERRORIST HUNTER, Irene Katz, had her identity revealed because of a similar law suit (she wrote it under "anonymous")and now she is a target. I believe she was the first person to trace terrorists by tracing and analysing the money flow. She was correct, but a too-liberal judge did not care, it seems. Now, she is still a target.
