Over the past 3 decades, Mr. Timmerman has revealed how failed U.S. policies have helped create new threats to our nation from Russia, China, and Iran.  He has interviewed dissidents behind the Iron Curtain, covered numerous Middle East wars and false-hope peace treaties, interviewed suicide bombers, debriefed defectors from Iranian intelligence organizations, and covered the plight of Christians persecuted for their faith.
