Executive Power 27

As Coleman reached the point where Wicker was setting up his sniper rifle and camoflauge, he asked, "any sight of Mitch." As quickly as Wicker had unpacked everything from his treck pack, he had assembled and was hidden among the bushes and grass. Wicker quickly scanned the area for positions that he believed any possible enemy sniper would be but all were empty. Colemen and Wicker both resolved to the belief that the genral was not at all scarred of the possible threat of an enemy because of his sign outside his tent and the non-secured area. Wicker also checked the conditions and stated that they were perfect for the potential 500 meter head shot.
This book is really full of intense action scenes along with slow moving intelectual parts back in D.C. The corrupt story line with a treason based situation grabbed my attention only about 1 chapter in. Any reader who enjoys non-fictional and govermental books should greatly enjoy this novel.

After the couple denials that Moro tried to pass by Rapp, he introduced a business proposition that he stated would be better than the one he was currently in with Sayyaf. Moro was more keen on listening to Rapp after he presented the problem with a couple of people in his country knowing about his corrupt business with Sayyaf. Rapp stated that he would give him 100 grand to recieve the Andersons unharmed and another 100 grand after and only if he finished the job of completely eliminating Sayyaf and his regiem. Being sneaky, Moro stated, "Mr. Rap, America is a very wealthy country. What you ask of me will take more resources than you have offerred. If you wish to get the famiy of Americans back safely, I'm going to need more." As the situation grew to higher stakes, it ended with 300 grand being given to Moro if the tasks were completed but litle did Moro know that he was to die when he left the tent.

Mitch Rapp was able to be a larger part in the rescue of the Andersons only because of the convincing that Director Kennedy had on President Hayes. So after meeting Rizal, Rapp was flown by helicopter to General Moros base camp in a jungle surrounded basin in the Philippines. Rapp was greeted by Colonel Barboza, Moro's right-hand man. And as soon as he walked off the helicopter, Rapp noticed the very un-gaurded camp in which Moro resided. The plan was to have Colmen and Wicker call Rapp when they were set up on the ridge with their sniper rifle set up to take down the General when he walked outside. But as Rapp walked and set next to the layed back General he didnt get a call. Rapp and a Moro had a question filled conversation regarding the truth behind Moro's corrupt situation and the paying-off too Abu-Sayyaf and the problem with the Anderson family. After numerous denials about relations with Sayyaf and the no-progress situation with the family, Rapp presented a file including phone conversations, and other key documents infront of Moro and he scanned all the documents.
"Mr.Rapp, you have me at a disadvantage. I have no idea what your talking about." (Moro)

Executive Power 17-18

After meeting with Rizal, Rapp is in the beginning phase of his operation that only came true due to the work by CIA Director, Irene Kennedy. Rapp and an elite team flew into a private landing strip about an hour away from Manila. The landing strip was owned by a wealthy land owner who at the moment was gone so it was perfect for the operation to be started on his un-occupied landing area. We are introduced to Coleman, a somewhat leader of the group who was beside Rapp. All four men were dressed in jungle camo, night vision goggles, and their weapons dangling from their sides. As soon as they touch ground the jet flew off leaving the four prepared men waiting in the darkness of a dangerous country. One of the two SEALS joining the squad was Wicker, a short man who had a keen sense of sight and sound that made him perfect for assigned job, sniping. In Coleman's and Rapp's eyes, Wicker was the best sniping available in the U.S. armed forces. Only a minute after the men had left the jet, thy were quickly boarding a MH-60G Pave Hawk Helicopter that had quietly came over the ridge. Rapp was the last of the four to get in the helicopter and secure himself inside.
"Bring us in low, just above the canopy and we'll fast rope down," explained Rapp to the silent pilot. Without any more words said, they were off into the night ready to get a hopefully top secret job done.

Executive Power 15-16

Mitch Rapp has been in a sticky situation revolving the Corrupt General Moro from the Philipinnes. Moro has been doing nothing to rescue the American family taken hostage by Muslim terrorists. After the meeting with President Hayes, Director Kennedy, and General Flood, Mitch was not a happy camper. He left the meeting with a failed a personal objective, to personally travel to the Philippines and save the American hostages. As he left, Director Kennedy persuaded President Hayes into letting Rapp try rescue this family.
At the beginning of chapter 16, we see Rapp in the CIA's private Jet on his way to the old Clark base nar the Philipine border. As Mitch exits the plane he walks up to a black Lincoln in the shadows behind and abandoned hanger. Mitch climbs in and hands files to Lieutenet General Rizal, an American ally and close friend to General Flood. After minutes of silence as Rizal reads the info he starts to understand the secrets that Moro has been holding from him and the rest of his country. Rizal describes the situation that would happen if all of the pre-determined plans were to unravle. They would capture Moro bring him to trial and hopefully have him be sent to death but this would enrage his enemies and seperate the country. Asking for another way is exactly what rzal was saying, he knew that as the terrorist found out their provider had been captured, they would kill the family.
"You can choose to go that route or we can try something else."
"Im listening."
Rapp hesitated only briefly. "I want his head."

As we hear from the informed Richard Sorenson, a West Texas school board tried to add a Bible based curriculum to its school and as you guessed it, was bombarded with complaints. These divisions between those that want Christian beliefs taught in schools and those that want more of a separation are participants in a foreseen long court problem. Court officials constantly look back and are reassured by the correct outcome when the read the 1st clause of the 1st Amendment. While many questions about the bible in school have arose, they have been finalized with concrete answers.
