<div>Peace Action Maine is proud to bring this hard nosed former cop
to The Meg Perry Center. Since retirement in Maine James Moore has
written freelance for several periodicals, including,<i> Newsweek</i>.
Mr. Moore has written a suspense thriller,<i> Official Secrets</i>,
and a history of ATF,<i> Very Special Agents</i>.<br>

<div>The two books<i> Human Sacrifice</i> and<i> State Secrets</i> are
the result of Moore's determination and dedication to find the truth

cover-ups. This discussion will not be an easy one for those who
believe in the assumption of innocence until proven guilty.<br>
