Rodriguez, Jr., reveals how, in the wake of 9\/11, government-approved hard measures used on captured high-level al Qa'ida operatives derailed terrorist threats to the U.S., contributed to the capture of Usama bin Ladin, and saved countless American lives. That is, until initial support gave way to shortsighted political correctness, leaving those responsible for protecting our nation second-guessed, hamstrung, and investigated. In effect, the United States has chosen to willfully and unilaterally disarm itself in the war on terror. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHard Measures\u003c\/i\u003e, Rodriguez melds his fascinating life story with a reasoned, previously untold, and convincing case for hard measures.
